Enhanced the performance of Bi₂O₂S via polyaniline compositing for supercapacitors
摘要
For advancing supercapacitor technology, it is crucial to develop electrode materials that achieve both high specific capacitance and outstanding cycling stability. Here we demonstrate that a rarely explored Bi₂O₂S/PANI composite was successfully fabricated, and its electrochemical properties as a supercapacitor electrode were systematically evaluated. Findings reveal that the incorporation of PANI markedly improves the electrochemical activity of Bi₂O₂S. At a current density of 1 A g⁻¹, our best Bi₂O₂S/PANI sample achieved a mass-based storage value reaching 449.4 mAh g⁻¹—considerably higher than the value for pristine Bi₂O₂S (373.05 mAh g⁻¹)—highlighting its superior energy storage performance. Notably, the composite also demonstrated outstanding long-term cycling durability, retaining 65% of its initial capacity after 5,000 consecutive charge–discharge cycles. Collectively, these findings validate that hybridizing with PANI serves as an efficient strategy to enhance the performance of Bi₂O₂S-based electrodes. The resulting Bi₂O₂S/PANI composite therefore holds considerable potential for use in high-performance supercapacitors.
