ABSTRACT: Design and fabrication of a hierarchical core/shell MgCo₂O₄@MnO₂ nanowall arrays on Ni-foam by a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The electrochemical measurements prove these composites with MnO₂ definitely offer better supercapacitive performance of the MgCo₂O₄ electrode material. The nanowall structure provides more active sites and charge transfer during the Faradic reaction. The MgCo₂O₄@MnO₂ nanowall shows an excellent electrochemical performance (852.5?F?g^-1 at 1?A?g^-1). The asymmetric supercapacitor is composed of the MgCo₂O₄@MnO₂ nanowall and the activated carbon (AC). The energy densities of the asymmetric supercapacitor device can keep up 67.2?Wh·kg^-1 at 5760.0?W·kg^-1. The MgCo₂O₄@MnO₂ nanowall shows excellent supercapacitive performance and has a great potential for more research and application in the asymmetric supercapacitor devices field.

An Effective Electrodeposition Mode for Porous MnO₂/Ni Foam Composite for Asymmetric Supercapacitors.

Project description:Three kinds of MnO₂/Ni foam composite electrode with hierarchical meso-macroporous structures were prepared using potentiodynamic (PD), potentiostatic (PS), and a combination of PS and PD(PS + PD) modes of electrodeposition. The electrodeposition mode markedly influenced the surface morphological, textural, and supercapacitive properties of the MnO₂/Ni electrodes. The supercapacitive performance of the MnO₂/Ni electrode obtained via PS + PD(PS + PD(MnO₂/Ni)) was found to be superior to those of MnO₂/Ni electrodes obtained via PD and PS, respectively. Moreover, an asymmetric supercapacitor device, activated carbon (AC)/PS + PD(MnO₂/Ni), utilizing PS + PD(MnO₂/Ni) as a positive electrode and AC as a negative electrode, was fabricated. The device exhibited an energy density of 7.7 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 600 W·kg-1 and superior cycling stability, retaining 98% of its initial capacity after 10,000 cycles. The good supercapacitive performance and excellent stability of the AC/PS + PD(MnO₂/Ni) device can be ascribed to its high surface area, hierarchical structure, and interconnected three-dimensional reticular configuration of the nickel metal support, which facilitates electrolyte ion intercalation and deintercalation at the electrode/electrolyte interface and mitigates volume change during repeated charge/discharge cycling. These results demonstrate the great potential of the combination of PS and PD modes for MnO₂ electrodeposition for the development of high-performance electrodes for supercapacitors.

Design of NiO Flakes@CoMoO4 Nanosheets Core-Shell Architecture on Ni Foam for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:As typical electrode materials for supercapacitors, low specific capacitance and insufficient cycling stability of transition metal oxides (TMOs) are still the problems that need to be solved. Design of core-shell structure is considered as an effective method for preparation of high-performance electrode materials. In this work, NiO flakes@CoMoO4 nanosheets/Ni foam (NiO flakes@CoMoO4 NSs/NF) core-shell architecture was constructed by a two-step hydrothermal method. Interestingly, the CoMoO4 NSs are vertically grown on the surface of NiO flakes, forming a two-dimensional (2D) branched core-shell structure. The porous core-shell architecture has relatively high surface area, effective ions channels, and abundant redox sites, resulting in excellent electrochemical performance. As a positive electrode for supercapacitors, NiO flakes@CoMoO4 NSs/NF core-shell architecture exhibits excellent capacitive performance in terms of high specific capacitance (1097 F/g at 1 A/g) and outstanding cycling stability (97.5% after 2000 circles). The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) of NiO flakes@CoMoO4 NSs/NF//active carbon (AC)/NF possesses a maximum energy density of 25.8 Wh/kg at power density of 894.7 W/kg. The results demonstrate that NiO flakes@CoMoO4 NSs/NF electrode displays potential applications in supercapacitors and the design of 2D branched core-shell architecture paves an ideal way to obtain high-performance TMOs electrodes.

Structure-Enhanced Mechanically Robust Graphite Foam with Ultrahigh MnO2 Loading for Supercapacitors.

Project description:With the fast bloom of flexible electronics and green vehicles, it is vitally important to rationally design and facilely construct customized functional materials with excellent mechanical properties as well as high electrochemical performance. Herein, by utilizing two modern industrial techniques, digital light processing (DLP) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), a unique 3D hollow graphite foam (HGF) is demonstrated, which shows a periodic porous structure and robust mechanical properties. Finite element analysis (FEA) results confirm that the properly designed gyroidal porous structure provides a uniform stress area and mitigates potential structural failure caused by stress concentrations. A typical HGF can show a high Young's modulus of 3.18 MPa at a low density of 48.2 mg cm-3. The porous HGF is further covered by active MnO2 material with a high mass loading of 28.2 mg cm-2 (141 mg cm-3), and the MnO2/HGF electrode still achieves a satisfactory specific capacitance of 260 F g-1, corresponding to a high areal capacitance of 7.35 F cm-2 and a high volumetric capacitance of 36.75 F cm-3. Furthermore, the assembled quasi-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor also shows remarkable mechanical properties as well as electrochemical performance.

Solution growth of NiO nanosheets supported on Ni foam as high-performance electrodes for supercapacitors.

Project description:Well-aligned nickel oxide (NiO) nanosheets with the thickness of a few nanometers supported on a flexible substrate (Ni foam) have been fabricated by a hydrothermal approach together with a post-annealing treatment. The three-dimensional NiO nanosheets were further used as electrode materials to fabricate supercapacitors, with high specific capacitance of 943.5, 791.2, 613.5, 480, and 457.5 F g(-1) at current densities of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 A g(-1), respectively. The NiO nanosheets combined well with the substrate. When the electrode material was bended, it can still retain 91.1% of the initial capacitance after 1,200 charging/discharging cycles. Compared with Co3O4 and NiO nanostructures, the specific capacitance of NiO nanosheets is much better. These characteristics suggest that NiO nanosheet electrodes are promising for energy storage application with high power demands.

CNT/High Mass Loading MnO2/Graphene-Grafted Carbon Cloth Electrodes for High-Energy Asymmetric Supercapacitors.

Project description:Flexible supercapacitor electrodes with high mass loading are crucial for obtaining favorable electrochemical performance but still challenging due to sluggish electron and ion transport. Herein, rationally designed CNT/MnO2/graphene-grafted carbon cloth electrodes are prepared by a "graft-deposit-coat" strategy. Due to the large surface area and good conductivity, graphene grafted on carbon cloth offers additional surface areas for the uniform deposition of MnO2 (9.1 mg cm-2) and facilitates charge transfer. Meanwhile, the nanostructured MnO2 provides abundant electroactive sites and short ion transport distance, and CNT coated on MnO2 acts as interconnected conductive "highways" to accelerate the electron transport, significantly improving redox reaction kinetics. Benefiting from high mass loading of electroactive materials, favorable conductivity, and a porous structure, the electrode achieves large areal capacitances without compromising rate capability. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor demonstrates a wide working voltage (2.2 V) and high energy density of 10.18 mWh cm-3.

Facile Synthesis of Zn-Co-S Nanostrip Cluster Arrays on Ni Foam for High-Performance Hybrid Supercapacitors.

Project description:Mixed metal sulfides exhibit outstanding electrochemical performance compared to single metal sulfides and mixed metal oxides because of their richer redox reactions and high electronic conductivity. In the present study, Zn-Co-S nanostrip cluster arrays were formed from ZnCo2O4 grown on Ni foam by an anion exchange reaction using a two-step hydrothermal process. Morphological characterization confirmed that the Zn-Co-S nanostrip cluster arrays had grown homogeneously on the skeleton of the 3D Ni foam. The length of the nanostrip was approximately 8 µm, and the width ranged from 600 to 800 nm. The Ni foam-supported Zn-Co-S nanostrip cluster arrays were assessed directly for electrochemical supercapacitor applications. Compared to ZnCo2O4, the Zn-Co-S electrode exhibited a three-fold higher specific capacity of 830 C g-1 at a specific current of 2.0 A g-1. The higher polarizability, lower electro-negativity, and larger size of the S2- ion played an important role in substituting oxygen with sulfur, which enhanced the performance. The Zn-Co-S//AC hybrid device delivered a maximum specific energy of 19.0 Wh kg-1 at a specific power of 514 W kg-1. The remarkable performance of Zn-Co-S nanostrip cluster arrays highlights their potential as a positive electrode for hybrid supercapacitor applications.

Project description:A facile one-step hydrothermal reaction was employed to synthesis an integrated bifunctional composite composed by a network structure of ZnS/ZnO/Ni(OH)2 nanosheets with ZnS/ZnO nanospheres in situ growing on Ni foam. The synergistic effect of these three substances make the composite having both improved electrochemical performances and photocatalytic activity. The ZnS/ZnO/Ni(OH)2-4mmol shows a high specific capacitance of 1173.8?F?g-1 at 1?A?g-1, as well as good rate capability and relatively stable cyclability. Using as photocatalyst, the methyl orange dye in solution can be completely decomposed under ultraviolet-visible radiation in about 80?min. And the composite is easy to be repeatedly used because bulk Ni foam was used as a carrier. Such a bifunctional composite material provides a new insight for energy storage and utilization as well as the water pollution treatment.

Si Wire Supported MnO2/Al/Fluorocarbon 3D Core/Shell Nanoenergetic Arrays with Long-Term Storage Stability.

Project description:Three-dimensional MnO2/Al/fluorocarbon core/shell nanoenergetic arrays are prepared on silicon substrate that is with silicon wires on top. Silicon wires are first prepared as the scaffolds by maskless deep reactive ion etching of silicon wafer, which is followed by the hydrothermal growth of MnO2. Al and fluorocarbon are then deposited sequentially around the silicon wire (Si-W) supported MnO2 arrays by magnetron sputtering to realize the core/shell nanoenergetic composite. Several characterization techniques are used to investigate the prepared Si-W/MnO2/Al/fluorocarbon arrays, including the scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. 3D upright aligned core/shell structure with an intimate contact between MnO2 and Al is confirmed from the morphological characterization. Superhydrophobicity is achieved after the fluorocarbon coating. Most importantly, the Si-W/MnO2/Al/fluorocarbon nanoenergetic arrays show no decay of energy density after 9 months of storage, indicating potential applications in nanoenergetics-on-a-chip when long-term storage is needed.

Hierarchical WS2@NiCo2O4 Core-shell Heterostructure Arrays Supported on Carbon Cloth as High-Performance Electrodes for Symmetric Flexible Supercapacitors.

Project description:Nowadays, rationally preparing heterostructure materials can not only make up for the shortage of individual components, but also exert unexpected performance through synergistic interactions between the components. Herein, a core-shell of WS2@NiCo2O4 screw-like heterostructure arrays grown on carbon cloth (CC) was prepared by a two-step solvothermal method for supercapacitors. As a binder-free flexible electrode, a high areal capacitance of 2449.9 mF cm-2 can be achieved for WS2@NiCo2O4/CC at a current density of 1 mA cm-2. Benefiting from the core-shell of the WS2@NiCo2O4 heterostructure, the capacitive property of the flexible WS2@NiCo2O4/CC electrode is better than those of WS2/CC and NiCo2O4/CC electrodes. Based on WS2@NiCo2O4/CC electrodes, the assembled flexible solid-state symmetric supercapacitor (FSS) device shows a high energy density of ?45.67 W h kg-1 at a power density of 992.83 W kg-1. Meantime, the WS2@NiCo2O4/CC-assembled FSS device also exhibits high cycling stability with an excellent capacity retention of ?85.59% after 5000 cycles.

Layered Ni(OH)2-Co(OH)2 films prepared by electrodeposition as charge storage electrodes for hybrid supercapacitors.

Project description:Consecutive layers of Ni(OH)2 and Co(OH)2 were electrodeposited on stainless steel current collectors for preparing charge storage electrodes of high specific capacity with potential application in hybrid supercapacitors. Different electrodes were prepared consisting on films of Ni(OH)2, Co(OH)2, Ni1/2Co1/2(OH)2 and layered films of Ni(OH)2 on Co(OH)2 and Co(OH)2 on Ni(OH)2 to highlight the advantages of the new architecture. The microscopy studies revealed the formation of nanosheets in the Co(OH)2 films and of particles agglomerates in the Ni(OH)2 films. Important morphological changes were observed in the double hydroxides films and layered films. Film growth by electrodeposition was governed by instantaneous nucleation mechanism. The new architecture composed of Ni(OH)2 on Co(OH)2 displayed a redox response characterized by the presence of two peaks in the cyclic voltammograms, arising from redox reactions of the metallic species present in the layered film. These electrodes revealed a specific capacity of 762?C?g-1 at the specific current of 1?A?g-1. The hybrid cell using Ni(OH)2 on Co(OH)2 as positive electrode and carbon nanofoam paper as negative electrode display specific energies of 101.3?W?h g-1 and 37.8?W?h g-1 at specific powers of 0.2?W?g-1 and 2.45?W?g-1, respectively.
