Design and fabrication of high-performance ZnCo₂O₄/ZnWS₄ composite electrode materials for advanced asymmetric supercapacitors
摘要
At present, supercapacitors generally have a low energy density, which restricts their wide application. In this study, a series of composite electrode materials based on ZnCo2O4 were successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method. The ZnCo2O4/ZnWO4 composite electrode can reach 497.4 C cm−2 under the test condition of 1 mA cm−2. The areal specific capacity of the ZnCo2O4/ZnWS4 composite electrode can reach 1286.5 C cm−2 under the same test condition of 1 mA cm−2, while the capacitance of ZnCo2O4 is only 344.8 C cm−2 under the same conditions. In addition, an asymmetric supercapacitor was assembled with the ZnCo2O4/ZnWS4 electrode. The test results show that its maximum energy density is 63.2 Wh kg−1, and the corresponding power density is 4066 W kg−1.
