Herein, we propose an effective strategy to enhance the electrochemical activity of metal organic framework-based (MOF) electrode material for electrochemical capacitors. The fabrication involves the synthesis of CuO nanowires on...
Metal
sulfides delivered much better electrochemical performance
over metal oxides due to the extended potential window with high conductivity
and therefore are much investigated in the field of energy storage
applications. Herein, binder-free two-dimensional bimetallic (ZnS/FeS)
interconnected composite nanosheet arrays are synthesized on carbon
cloth (2D-ZFS@CC) as an innovative negative electrode material for
supercapacitors. The 2D-ZFS@CC exhibits improved capacitance (1367.5
F g–1/1641 C g–1 at 3 A g–1), rate-capability (58.5% at 10-fold high current
density), and capacitance retention (87%) over bimetallic oxide (ZnFe2O4). This is accomplished by intelligently regulating
the morphology to generate numerous pores with a wide accessible surface
area and high porosity, which favors high capacitance, whereas the
binder-free nature of the active material promotes fast charge transfer
characteristics. Moreover, the kinetic analysis suggested that the
2D-ZFS@CC electrode stored charge based on the hybrid charge storage
mechanism with b values of 0.70 and 0.72 for anodic
and cathodic peaks, respectively. These results demonstrate the significant
potential application of 2D-ZFS@CC as a negative electrode material
for next-generation supercapacitor electrodes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
