Harnessing energy sustainability: synthesis of BaS2:CoS:MnS semiconductor trichotomous chalcogenide for superior supercapacitor device operation
摘要
In this era of rising energy consumption, scientific circles and energy stakeholders have paid close attention to electrochemical energy storage. Present study focuses to enhance the performance of charge storing systems by synthesizing the BaS2:CoS:MnS trichotomous chalcogenide with diethyldithiocarbamate ligand to be a chelating agent. The sustainably produced BaS2:CoS:MnS semiconductor, with a band gap in energy of 2.88 eV, demonstrated good photoactivity due to light absorption. Possessing mixed crystalline states, the resulting chalcogenide exhibited a median crystallite size of 33.41 nm. Additionally, metallic sulfide connections have been investigated by means of infrared spectroscopy, which revealed values ranging from 400 to 871 cm−1. Particles of different sizes and a rod-shaped were detected. The electrochemical performance of BaS2:CoS:MnS was evaluated using a typical three-electrode setup. BaS2:CoS:MnS has been demonstrated to be an excellent electrode material for storing energy, with a specific power density of 9339.23 W kg−1 and a particular capacitance of up to 755.38 F g−1. This impressive electrochemical performance was supported by a series resistance (Rs) of 0.58 Ω.
