Structure–performance correlation in NiS-CNT hybrid electrodes for advanced electrochemical energy storage
摘要
The remarkable properties and wide variety of uses of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and metal sulfides, like electrical energy storage and energy exchange, have attracted a lot of attention. The creation of a rough-surfaced, highly effective electrode nanomaterial is essential for more advanced high-energy storage technologies. In current research, the well-established cost effective solvothermal approach is used to synthesize the NiS microstructure with a rough surface. The specific capacitance of the NiS-CNT material was 1735 F/g at 1 A/g, which is higher than the natural NiS material alone. Asymmetric supercapacitors have an amazing power density of 4500 W/kg and an energy density of 42.5 Wh/kg when the current density is 1 A/g. An 89% capacitance retention rate after 10,000 cycles shows that the cycling reliability is also very good. The NiS-CNT//AC electrode has better ion and electron transfer capacity, a bigger surface area, and a higher rate capability, which highlights its potential use in electrochemical energy storage.
