As a kind of semiconductor with wide band gap, MnS has received wide attention for supercapacitors. However, its electrochemical performance is often unsatisfactory. A practical solution to the poor energy...
A novel mesoporous urchin‐like Co−Ni−Fe ternary hydroxide (CoNiFe−TH) assembled by a large amount of nanoneedles on nickel foam was successfully prepared through a facile one‐step hydrothermal method. The mesoporous urchin‐like CoNiFe−TH nanoneedle electrode has a high specific capacitance of 1318.52 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1 in a three‐electrode system. Besides, the electrode exhibits an excellent cycling stability with 63.3 % specific capacitance retention and almost 100 % Coulombic efficiency during 1000 cycles of a charge‐discharge process at a current density of 5 A g−1. The excellent electrochemical performance of the electrode is due to the unique mesoporous urchin‐like CoNiFe−TH nanoneedles structures with more active reaction sites and polymetallic synergistic effects, which can facilitate the faradic reaction process to improve the electrochemical performance. The current synthesis method can be used for the preparation of other ternary transition metal hydroxides as electrode materials for supercapacitors.
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.
