NiSe₂/Ni(OH)₂ Heterojunction Composite through Epitaxial-like Strategy as High-Rate Battery-Type Electrode Material.

ABSTRACT: Constructing heterojunction is a promising way to improve the charge transfer efficiency and can thus promote the electrochemical properties. Herein, a facile and effective epitaxial-like growth strategy is applied to NiSe₂ nano-octahedra to fabricate the NiSe₂-(100)/Ni(OH)₂-(110) heterojunction. The heterojunction composite and Ni(OH)₂ (performing high electrochemical activity) is ideal high-rate battery-type supercapacitor electrode. The NiSe₂/Ni(OH)₂ electrode exhibits a high specific capacity of 909 C g^-1 at 1 A g^-1 and 597 C g^-1 at 20 A g^-1. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor composed of the NiSe₂/Ni(OH)₂ cathode and p-phenylenediamine-functional reduced graphene oxide anode achieves an ultrahigh specific capacity of 303 C g^-1 at 1 A g^-1 and a superior energy density of 76.1 Wh kg^-1 at 906 W kg^-1, as well as an outstanding cycling stability of 82% retention for 8000 cycles at 10 A g^-1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of NiSe₂/Ni(OH)₂ heterojunction exhibiting such remarkable supercapacitor performance. This work not only provides a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage device but also offers a possible universal strategy to fabricate metal selenides/metal hydroxides heterojunctions.

2D nanoporous Ni(OH)2 film as an electrode material for high-performance energy storage devices.

Project description:A two-dimensional (2D) nanoporous Ni(OH)2 film was successfully developed from triethanolamine (TEA) as the alkali source and soft template using a scalable hydrothermal technique. The nanostructured Ni(OH)2 film was flexible and translucent, and could be directly compressed on a current collector. Owing to the uniform well-defined morphology and stable structure, the Ni(OH)2 film binder-free electrode displayed a high specific capacity, exceptional rate capability, and admirable cycle life. The specific capacitance was 453.6 mA h g-1 (1633 F g-1) at 0.5 A g-1. The assembled Ni(OH)2//activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device had an energy density of 58.7 W h kg-1 at a power density of 400 W kg-1. These prominent electrochemical properties of Ni(OH)2 were attributed to the high electrical conductivity, high surface area, and unique porous architecture. Free tailoring, binder-free, and direct pressing were the most significant achievements of the Ni(OH)2 film in the development of high-performance energy storage devices.

Template-Free Preparation of α-Ni(OH)2 Nanosphere as High-Performance Electrode Material for Advanced Supercapacitor.

Project description:Although it is one of the promising candidates for pseudocapacitance materials, Ni(OH)2 is confronted with poor specific capacitance and inferior cycling stability. The design and construction of three-dimensional (3D) nanosphere structures turns out to be a valid strategy to combat these disadvantages and has attracted tremendous attention. In this paper, a 3D α-Ni(OH)2 nanosphere is prepared via a facile and template-free dynamic refluxing approach. Significantly, the α-Ni(OH)2 nanosphere possesses a high specific surface area (119.4 m2/g) and an abundant porous structure. In addition, the as-obtained α-Ni(OH)2 electrodes are investigated by electrochemical measurements, which exhibit a high specific capacitance of 1243 F/g at 1 A/g in 6 M KOH electrolyte and an acceptable capacitive retention of 40.0% after 1500 charge/discharge cycles at 10 A/g, which can be attributed to the sphere's unique nanostructure. Furthermore, the as-assembled Ni(OH)2-36//AC asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) yields a remarkable energy density of 26.50 Wh/kg, with a power density of 0.82 kW/kg. Notably, two ASCs in series can light a 2.5 V red lamp sustainably for more than 60 min, as well as power an LED band with a rated power of 25 W. Hence, this 3D α-Ni(OH)2 nanosphere may raise great potential applications for next-generation energy storage devices.

Ni(OH)? and NiO Based Composites: Battery Type Electrode Materials for Hybrid Supercapacitor Devices.

Project description:Nanocomposites of Ni(OH)? or NiO have successfully been used in electrodes in the last five years, but they have been falsely presented as pseudocapacitive electrodes for electrochemical capacitors and hybrid devices. Indeed, these nickel oxide or hydroxide electrodes are pure battery-type electrodes which store charges through faradaic processes as can be shown by cyclic voltammograms or constant current galvanostatic charge/discharge plots. Despite this misunderstanding, such electrodes can be of interest as positive electrodes in hybrid supercapacitors operating under KOH electrolyte, together with an activated carbon-negative electrode. This study indicates the requirements for the implementation of Ni(OH)?-based electrodes in hybrid designs and the improvements that are necessary in order to increase the energy and power densities of such devices. Mass loading is the key parameter which must be above 10 mg·cm−2 to correctly evaluate the performance of Ni(OH)? or NiO-based nanocomposite electrodes and provide gravimetric capacity values. With such loadings, rate capability, capacity, cycling ability, energy and power densities can be accurately evaluated. Among the 80 papers analyzed in this study, there are indications that such nanocomposite electrode can successfully improve the performance of standard Ni(OH)? (+)//6 M KOH//activated carbon (−) hybrid supercapacitor.

Hybrid ?-Fe2O3@Ni(OH)2 nanosheet composite for high-rate-performance supercapacitor electrode.

Project description:In this study, we report a facile fabrication of ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet hybrid composite, ?-Fe2O3 nanosheet@Ni(OH)2 nanosheet, by a two-step hydrothermal method to achieve high specific capacitance and good stability performance at high charging/discharging rates when serving as electrode material of supercapacitors. The ?-Fe2O3@Ni(OH)2 hybrid electrode not only has a smooth decrease of the specific capacitance with increasing current density, compared with the sharp decline of single component of Ni(OH)2 electrode, but also presents excellent rate capability with a specific capacitance of 356?F/g at a current density of 16?A/g and excellent cycling stability (a capacity retention of 93.3% after 500?cycles), which are superior to the performances of Ni(OH)2 with a lower specific capacitance of 132?F/g and a lower capacity retention of 81.8% at 16?A/g. The results indicate such hybrid structure would be promising as excellent electrode material for good performances at high current densities in the future.

Heterojunction ?-Co(OH)2/?-Ni(OH)2 nanorods arrays on Ni foam with high utilization rate and excellent structure stability for high-performance supercapacitor.

Project description:The practical implementation of supercapacitors is hindered by low utilization and poor structural stability of electrode materials. Herein, to surmount these critical challenges, a three-dimensional hierarchical ?-Co(OH)2/?-Ni(OH)2 heterojunction nanorods are built in situ on Ni foam through a mild two-step growth reaction. The unique lamellar crystal structure and abundant intercalated anions of ?-M(OH)2 (M?=?Co or Ni) and the ideal electronic conductivity of ?-Co(OH)2 construct numerous cross-linked ion and electron transport paths in heterojunction nanorods. The deformation stresses exerted by ?-Co(OH)2 and ?-Ni(OH)2 on each other guarantee the excellent structural stability of this heterojunction nanorods. Using nickel foam with a three-dimensional network conductive framework as the template ensures the rapidly transfer of electrons between this heterojunction nanorods and current collector. Three-dimensional hierarchical structure of ?-Co(OH)2/?-Ni(OH)2 heterojunction nanorods provides a large liquid interface area. These result together in the high utilization rate and excellent structure stability of the ?-Co(OH)2/?-Ni(OH)2 heterojunction nanorods. And the capacitance retention rate is up to 93.4% at 1?A?g-1 from three-electrode system to two-electrode system. The ?-Co(OH)2/?-Ni(OH)2//AC device also present a long cycle life (the capacitance retention rate is 123.6% at 5?A?g-1 for 10000 cycles), a high specific capacitance (207.2?F?g-1 at 1?A?g-1), and high energy density and power density (72.6?Wh?kg-1 at 196.4?W?kg-1 and 40.9?Wh?kg-1 at 3491.8?W?kg-1), exhibiting a fascinating potential for supercapacitor in large-scale applications.

Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction activity comparable to platinum exhibited by the Ni/Ni(OH)2/graphite electrode.

Project description:Electrochemical dual-pulse plating with sequential galvanostatic and potentiostatic pulses has been used to fabricate an electrocatalytically active Ni/Ni(OH)2/graphite electrode. This electrode design strategy to generate the Ni/Ni(OH)2 interface on graphite from Ni deposits is promising for electrochemical applications and has been used by us for hydrogen generation. The synergetic effect of nickel, colloidal nickel hydroxide islands, and the enhanced surface area of the graphite substrate facilitating HO-H cleavage followed by H(ad) recombination, results in the high current density [200 mA/cm2 at an overpotential of 0.3 V comparable to platinum (0.44 V)]. The easy method of fabrication of the electrode, which is also inexpensive, prompts us to explore its use in fabrication of solar-driven electrolysis.

Ni(OH)2@Ni core-shell nanochains as low-cost high-rate performance electrode for energy storage applications.

Project description:Energy storage performances of Ni-based electrodes rely mainly on the peculiar nanomaterial design. In this work, a novel and low-cost approach to fabricate a promising core-shell battery-like electrode is presented. Ni(OH)2@Ni core-shell nanochains were obtained by an electrochemical oxidation of a 3D nanoporous Ni film grown by chemical bath deposition and thermal annealing. This innovative nanostructure demonstrated remarkable charge storage ability in terms of capacity (237 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1) and rate capability (76% at 16 A g-1, 32% at 64 A g-1). The relationships between electrochemical properties and core-shell architecture were investigated and modelled. The high-conductivity Ni core provides low electrode resistance and excellent electron transport from Ni(OH)2 shell to the current collector, resulting in improved capacity and rate capability. The reported preparation method and unique electrochemical behaviour of Ni(OH)2@Ni core-shell nanochains show potential in many field, including hybrid supercapacitors, batteries, electrochemical (bio)sensing, gas sensing and photocatalysis.

Towards High Capacitive Performance of Chemically Deposited β-Ni(OH)2 Nanolamellae Electrode Films.

Project description:Nickel hydroxide β-Ni(OH)2 nanolamellae with high aspect ratios were grown via chemical bath deposition (CBD) on both smooth and textured nickel foil. Depending on bath composition and/or the presence of an additive, thin foam-like nanolamellae to stacked lamellae were obtained. The used CBD method is highly cost-effective, as it is faster and requires less chemicals than typical hydrothermal methods, and it is readily implementable for large-scale production. The influence of surface texture on the final morphology and its effect on capacitive performance was investigated. Herein, we show how subtle changes in the concentration can drastically influence the morphology, which, in turn, drastically impacts the supercapacitive performance of the electrode. Also, the use of a textured surface significantly impacts the morphology, with vastly better cycling performance than samples made on a relatively smooth substrate. The measured specific capacitance values of the best sample were 1961 Fg-1 at 5 mVs-1 and 1998 Fg-1 at 1 Ag-1 under potentiostatic and galvanostatic conditions, respectively. This sample also retained 100% of its initial specific capacitance when discharged at a very high current density of 40 Ag-1. These values are substantially enhanced compared to previously reported data using a nearly analogous method (CBD with higher reagent conc.), with our method, cost-wise, offering economic advantages relative to results obtained with similar materials and other methods (e.g., hydrothermal).

In Situ Synthesis of a Polyaniline/ Fe-Ni Codoped Co3O4 Composite for the Electrode Material of Supercapacitors with Improved Cyclic Stability.

Project description:Conductive polymers have become a remarkable candidate for electrode materials of supercapacitors. Polyaniline (PANI) is the most promising contender for supercapacitors because of its easy method of synthesis, low cost, and higher choice in the improvement of energy storage applications. The main issue in the use of PANI in supercapacitors is its lower stability. In this work, PANI@Fe-Ni codoped Co3O4 (PANI@FNCO) nanocomposite has been prepared by in situ addition of 10 wt % FNCO as fillers in the PANI matrix. The nanocomposites were then characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry to observe the morphology, crystal structure, functional groups, and thermal stability of samples, respectively. SEM results showed that FNCO was fairly dispersed in the PANI matrix, while XRD results showed a broad peak for nanocomposites because of the semicrystalline nature of polymers. The electrochemical properties of the samples were analyzed via cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge and discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. PANI@FNCO nanowires are found to overcome the shortcomings in electrochemical energy storage devices by exhibiting a higher value of specific capacitance of 1171 F g-1 and energy density of 144 W h kg-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. Moreover, the FNCO nanowires also showed a cyclic charge/discharge stability of 84% for 2000 cycles.
