A Wire-Shaped Supercapacitor in Micrometer Size Based on Fe₃O₄ Nanosheet Arrays on Fe Wire.

ABSTRACT: One-dimensional (1D, wire- and fiber-shaped) supercapacitors have recently attracted interest due to their roll-up, micrometer size and potential applications in portable or wearable electronics. Herein, a 1D wire-shaped electrode was developed based on Fe₃O₄ nanosheet arrays connected on the Fe wire, which was prepared via oxidation of Fe wire in 0.1 M KCl solution (pH 3) with O₂-rich environment under 70 °C. The obtained Fe₃O₄ nanosheet arrays displayed a high specific capacitance (20.8 mF cm^-1 at 10 mV s^-1) and long cycling lifespan (91.7% retention after 2500 cycles). The excellent performance may attribute to the connected nanosheet structure with abundant open spaces and the intimate contact between the Fe₃O₄ and iron substrate. In addition, a wire-shaped asymmetric supercapacitor was fabricated and had excellent capacitive properties with a high energy density (9 µWh cm^-2) at power density of 532.7 µW cm^-2 and remarkable long-term cycling performance (99% capacitance retention after 2000 cycles). Considering low cost and earth-abundant electrode material, as well as outstanding electrochemical properties, the assembled supercapacitor will possess enormous potential for practical applications in portable electronic device.

Carbon Nanotube Fibers Decorated with MnO2 for Wire-Shaped Supercapacitor.

Project description:Fibers made from CNTs (CNT fibers) have the potential to form high-strength, lightweight materials with superior electrical conductivity. CNT fibers have attracted great attention in relation to various applications, in particular as conductive electrodes in energy applications, such as capacitors, lithium-ion batteries, and solar cells. Among these, wire-shaped supercapacitors demonstrate various advantages for use in lightweight and wearable electronics. However, making electrodes with uniform structures and desirable electrochemical performances still remains a challenge. In this study, dry-spun CNT fibers from CNT carpets were homogeneously loaded with MnO2 nanoflakes through the treatment of KMnO4. These functionalized fibers were systematically characterized in terms of their morphology, surface and mechanical properties, and electrochemical performance. The resulting MnO2-CNT fiber electrode showed high specific capacitance (231.3 F/g) in a Na2SO4 electrolyte, 23 times higher than the specific capacitance of the bare CNT fibers. The symmetric wire-shaped supercapacitor composed of CNT-MnO2 fiber electrodes and a PVA/H3PO4 electrolyte possesses an energy density of 86 nWh/cm and good cycling performance. Combined with its light weight and high flexibility, this CNT-based wire-shaped supercapacitor shows promise for applications in flexible and wearable energy storage devices.

MoS2 Nanosheet Arrays Rooted on Hollow rGO Spheres as Bifunctional Hydrogen Evolution Catalyst and Supercapacitor Electrode.

Project description:MoS2 has attracted attention as a promising hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst and a supercapacitor electrode material. However, its catalytic activity and capacitive performance are still hindered by its aggregation and poor intrinsic conductivity. Here, hollow rGO sphere-supported ultrathin MoS2 nanosheet arrays (h-rGO@MoS2) are constructed via a dual-template approach and employed as bifunctional HER catalyst and supercapacitor electrode material. Because of the expanded interlayer spacing in MoS2 nanosheets and more exposed electroactive S-Mo-S edges, the constructed h-rGO@MoS2 architectures exhibit enhanced HER performance. Furthermore, benefiting from the synergistic effect of the improved conductivity and boosted specific surface areas (144.9 m2 g-1, ca. 4.6-times that of pristine MoS2), the h-rGO@MoS2 architecture shows a high specific capacitance (238 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1), excellent rate capacitance, and remarkable cycle stability. Our synthesis method may be extended to construct other vertically aligned hollow architectures, which may serve both as efficient HER catalysts and supercapacitor electrodes.

NiCo2O4/RGO Hybrid Nanostructures on Surface-Modified Ni Core for Flexible Wire-Shaped Supercapacitor.

Project description:In this work, we report surface-modified nickel (Ni) wire/NiCo2O4/reduced graphene oxide (Ni/NCO/RGO) electrodes fabricated by a combination of facile solvothermal and hydrothermal deposition methods for wire-shaped supercapacitor application. The effect of Ni wire etching on the microstructural, surface morphological and electrochemical properties of Ni/NCO/RGO electrodes was investigated in detail. On account of the improved hybrid nanostructure and the synergistic effect between spinel-NiCo2O4 hollow microspheres and RGO nanoflakes, the electrode obtained from Ni wire etched for 10 min, i.e., Ni10/NCO/RGO exhibits the lowest initial equivalent resistance (1.68 Ω), and displays a good rate capability with a volumetric capacitance (2.64 F/cm3) and areal capacitance (25.3 mF/cm2). Additionally, the volumetric specific capacitance calculated by considering only active material volume was found to be as high as 253 F/cm3. It is revealed that the diffusion-controlled process related to faradaic volume processes (battery type) contributed significantly to the surface-controlled process of the Ni10/NCO/RGO electrode compared to other electrodes that led to the optimum electrochemical performance. Furthermore, the wire-shaped supercapacitor (WSC) was fabricated by assembling two optimum electrodes in-twisted structure with gel electrolyte and the device exhibited 10 μWh/cm3 (54 mWh/kg) energy density and 4.95 mW/cm3 (27 W/kg) power density at 200 μA. Finally, the repeatability, flexibility, and scalability of WSCs were successfully demonstrated at various device lengths and bending angles.

3D CoMoSe4 Nanosheet Arrays Converted Directly from Hydrothermally Processed CoMoO4 Nanosheet Arrays by Plasma-Assisted Selenization Process Toward Excellent Anode Material in Sodium-Ion Battery.

Project description:In this work, three-dimensional (3D) CoMoSe4 nanosheet arrays on network fibers of a carbon cloth denoted as CoMoSe4@C converted directly from CoMoO4 nanosheet arrays prepared by a hydrothermal process followed by the plasma-assisted selenization at a low temperature of 450 °C as an anode for sodium-ion battery (SIB) were demonstrated for the first time. With the plasma-assisted treatment on the selenization process, oxygen (O) atoms can be replaced by selenium (Se) atoms without the degradation on morphology at a low selenization temperature of 450 °C. Owing to the high specific surface area from the well-defined 3D structure, high electron conductivity, and bi-metal electrochemical activity, the superior performance with a large sodium-ion storage of 475 mA h g-1 under 0.5-3 V potential range at 0.1 A g-1 was accomplished by using this CoMoSe4@C as the electrode. Additionally, the capacity retention was well maintained over 80 % from the second cycle, exhibiting a satisfied capacity of 301 mA h g-1 even after 50 cycles. The work delivered a new approach to prepare a binary transition metallic selenide and definitely enriches the possibilities for promising anode materials in SIBs with high performances.

Ultrathin Mesoporous Co3O4 Nanosheet Arrays for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Transition metal oxides, such as Co3O4, have attracted great attention for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity and satisfactory chemical stability. However, the slow kinetics of Li-ion and electron transport as well as poor cycling stability still largely restrains their applications. Here, we report the rational design of well-defined mesoporous ultrathin Co3O4 nanosheet arrays (NSAs) by topological transformation of layered double hydroxides nanosheet arrays (NSAs), which demonstrate significantly enhanced performance as anode for LIBs. The as-obtained Co3O4 NSAs with suitable thickness and abundant mesopores show excellent electrochemistry performance for LIBs, giving a high specific charge capacity of 2019.6 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, a good rate capability, and a remarkable cycling stability (1576.9 mAh g-1 after the 80th cycle), which is much superior to that of Co3O4 with thicker or thinner nanosheets as well as to that of the reported results. This facile strategy may be extended to the synthesis of other transition metal oxide NSAs, which can be potentially used in energy storage and conversion devices.

CoMnO2-Decorated Polyimide-Based Carbon Fiber Electrodes for Wire-Type Asymmetric Supercapacitor Applications.

Project description:In this work, we report the carbon fiber-based wire-type asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs). The highly conductive carbon fibers were prepared by the carbonized and graphitized process using the polyimide (PI) as a carbon fiber precursor. To assemble the ASC device, the CoMnO2-coated and Fe2O3-coated carbon fibers were used as the cathode and the anode materials, respectively. Herein, the nanostructured CoMnO2 were directly deposited onto carbon fibers by a chemical oxidation route without high temperature treatment in presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an oxidizing agent. FE-SEM analysis confirmed that the CoMnO2-coated carbon fiber electrode exhibited the porous hierarchical interconnected nanosheet structures, depending on the added amount of APS, and Fe2O3-coated carbon fiber electrode showed a uniform distribution of porous Fe2O3 nanorods over the surface of carbon fibers. The electrochemical properties of the CoMnO2-coated carbon fiber with the concentration of 6 mmol APS presented the enhanced electrochemical activity, probably due to its porous morphologies and good conductivity. Further, to reduce the interfacial contact resistance as well as improve the adhesion between transition metal nanostructures and carbon fibers, the carbon fibers were pre-coated with the Ni layer as a seed layer using an electrochemical deposition method. The fabricated ASC device delivered a specific capacitance of 221 F g-1 at 0.7 A g-1 and good rate capability of 34.8% at 4.9 A g-1. Moreover, the wire-type device displayed the superior energy density of 60.2 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 490 W kg-1 and excellent capacitance retention of 95% up to 3000 charge/discharge cycles.

Waste Toner-Derived Carbon/Fe3O4 Nanocomposite for High-Performance Supercapacitor.

Project description:Electronic waste management is one of the key challenges for the green revolution without affecting the environment. The wide use of printer devices has brought a horde of discarded waste toner, which release ∼6000 tons of processed carbon powder into the atmosphere every year that would essentially pollute the atmosphere. Here, we propose a one-step thermal conversion of waste toner powder into carbon/Fe3O4 nanocomposites for energy storage applications. Recovered toner carbon (RTC) and toner carbon calcined at 300 °C (RTC-300) were characterized using various analytical tools. From the FE-SEM analysis, the presence of carbon particles with uniformly decorated Fe3O4 nanoparticles was confirmed. RTC-300 carbon was used as an electrode material for supercapacitors, and it exhibited a high specific capacitance of 536 F/g at a current density of 3 A/g, which is almost six times higher than that of the commercial mesoporous graphitized carbon black. RTC-300 showed excellent electrochemical stability of 97% over 5000 cycles at a high current density of 20 A/g. The fabricated symmetric cell using RTC-300 electrode materials in an aqueous electrolyte with a cell voltage of 1.8 V delivered a high energy and high-power density of 42 W h/kg and 14.5 kW/kg, respectively. The fabricated device is stable up to 20,000 cycles at a high current density of 20 A/g with a loss of 23% capacitance.

Rationally designed transition metal hydroxide nanosheet arrays on graphene for artificial CO2 reduction.

Project description:The performance of transition metal hydroxides, as cocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction, is significantly limited by their inherent weaknesses of poor conductivity and stacked structure. Herein, we report the rational assembly of a series of transition metal hydroxides on graphene to act as a cocatalyst ensemble for efficient CO2 photoreduction. In particular, with the Ru-dye as visible light photosensitizer, hierarchical Ni(OH)2 nanosheet arrays-graphene (Ni(OH)2-GR) composites exhibit superior photoactivity and selectivity, which remarkably surpass other counterparts and most of analogous hybrid photocatalyst system. The origin of such superior performance of Ni(OH)2-GR is attributed to its appropriate synergy on the enhanced adsorption of CO2, increased active sites for CO2 reduction and improved charge carriers separation/transfer. This work is anticipated to spur rationally designing efficient earth-abundant transition metal hydroxides-based cocatalysts on graphene and other two-dimension platforms for artificial reduction of CO2 to solar chemicals and fuels.

In Situ Growth of MoS2 Nanosheet Arrays and TS2 (T = Fe, Co, and Ni) Nanocubes onto Molybdate for Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction and Improved Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Rationally designing efficient and low-price bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are vitally important to bring solar/electrical-to-hydrogen energy conversion processes into reality. Herein, we report on a synthetic method that leads to an in situ growth of ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets and transition metal disulfide nanocubes onto the surface of Fe1/3Co1/3Ni1/3MoO4 nanorods for the first time. Such hybrids are found to serve as a bifunctional electrocatalyst with high activities for OER and HER, as represented by an impressive anodic and cathodic current density of 10 mA cm-2 at 1.53 and -0.25 V, respectively. More importantly, the performance for OER is even better than that of IrO2, the conventional noble metal electrocatalyst. These striking observations were interpreted in terms of the combination of strongly synergistic effect of multimetal components, large amount of exposed active site, and superaerophobia. The present methodology has been confirmed universal for synthesizing other molybdate solid solutions, which would open up new possibilities for designing novel non-noble bifunctional electrocatalysts for OER and HER.

A Facile Two-Step Hydrothermal Synthesis of Co(OH)2@NiCo2O4 Nanosheet Nanocomposites for Supercapacitor Electrodes.

Project description:The composites of NiCo2O4 with unique structures were substantially investigated as promising electrodes. In this study, the unique structured nanosheets anchored on nickel foam (Ni foam) were prepared under the hydrothermal technique of NiCo2O4 and subsequent preparation of Co(OH)2. The Co(OH)2@NiCo2O4 nanosheet composite has demonstrated higher specific capacitances owing to its excellent specific surface region, enhanced rate properties, and outstanding electrical conductivities. Moreover, the electrochemical properties were analyzed in a three-electrode configuration to study the sample material. The as-designed Co(OH)2@NiCo2O4 nanosheet achieves higher specific capacitances of 1308 F·g-1 at 0.5 A·g-1 and notable long cycles with 92.83% capacity retention over 6000 cycles. The Co(OH)2@NiCo2O4 nanosheet electrode exhibits a long life span and high capacitances compared with the NiCo2O4 and Co(OH)2 electrodes, respectively. These outstanding electrochemical properties are mainly because of their porous construction and the synergistic effects between NiCo2O4 and Co(OH)2. Such unique Co(OH)2@NiCo2O4 nanosheets not only display promising applications in renewable storage but also reiterate to scientists of the unlimited potential of high-performance materials.
