“…Heterogeneous structures composed of different sul des can signi cantly improve the capacitance performance through the combination or even synergistic action of different components. In addition, by constructing bimetallic sul de electrode materials, the electron/ion migration path can be optimized to expose more active sites and further provide maximum capacitive performance [11][12][13]. For example, Anil Kumar Reddy et al prepared NiCo 2 S 4 @SnS 2 heterostructure materials by hydrothermal vulcanization, and used in situ growth method to grow NiCo 2 S 4 on SnS 2 nanosheets, which effectively limited the particle size and increased more active sites to participate in the reaction.…”
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have the advantages of stable electrochemical performance and long service life when used as energy storage materials due to their face‒centered cubic structure. Here, Ni‒Co Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nano units have been utilized as precursor to prepare corresponding metal sulfide derivatives, which inherited the structural properties of the precursor. This unique structural exposes more reaction sites and the generation of a small amount of nitrogen-doped carbon that enhances charge transfer. This cube structure has a buffer effect on the stress of the active substance during charging and discharging. The CoS2/Ni3S4‒N‒C provides a capacitance of 817 C g‒1 at 3 A g‒1 and there is still 556 C g‒1 at 20 A g‒1. Furthermore, CoS2/Ni3S4‒N‒C electrode yields outstanding cycle stability (98.2% capacitance retention at 10,000 cycles). An asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device consisting of CoS2/ Ni3S4‒N‒C and activated carbon electrodes have an energy density of 40 Wh kg‒1, and a retention rate of 103.7% for 10,000 cycles at 10 A g‒1, presenting excellent cycle stability. The electron properties of Co2NiO4 and CoS2/Ni3S4 − N−C are compared by density functional theory (DFT). CoS2/Ni3S4 − N−C detects more DOS near the Fermi level, leading to larger charge accumulation, indicating that the electron conductivity of the heterojunction is much higher than that of the oxide, and eventually faster reaction kinetics can be obtained.

“…Accordingly, the maximum energy density of the NiCoAl-LDH@CNT//AC-PPD-PBQ device can reach 70.9 W h kg –1 at a power density of 709 W kg –1 (Figure S16), and it still retains a high energy density of 52.2 W h kg –1 even when the power density increased to 10 439 W kg –1 . This is higher than those of NiCoAl-LDH@CNT//AC and other previously reported AHSs. − To simply investigate the cycling stability of the NiCoAl-LDH@CNT//AC-PPD-PBQ device, the charging/discharging cycling test is carried out at 6 A g –1 for 5000 cycles (Figure e), in which a capacitance retention of 84.4% and Coulombic efficiency of 100% were retained, exhibiting an excellent cycling performance.…”
Aqueous hybrid supercapacitors (AHSs) with a wide operating
voltage
and intrinsic safety are emerging as promising energy storage devices,
while their energy densities are still greatly restricted by carbon-based
negative electrodes. Developing a high-performance redox system for
carbon electrodes is one of the potential strategies to realize the
practical utilization of AHSs. Herein, we present a covalent-grafted
strategy to encapsulate redox p-benzoquinone (PBQ)
into microporous carbon frameworks by using p-phenylenediamine
(PPD) as a bridging agent. Both experimental and theoretical analysis
reveal that the diamine groups from PPD play a vital role in chemically
bonding PBQ with the microporous surfaces of carbon materials, which
deliver a great deal of electronic delocalization throughout the redox-active
sites and conductive carbon regions. As such, the obtained carbon
electrodes grafted by the redox PBQ and PPD species facilitate charge
transfer and consequently exhibit excellent charge storage performances.
These are highlighted by an extremely high specific capacitance of
377 F g–1 at a current density of 0.5 A g–1 and 276 F g–1 at 100 A g–1 with
a superior rate capability of 73%. Impressively, the assembled AHSs
based on covalently grafted carbon electrodes (AC-PPD-PBQ) and NiCoAl-layered
double hydroxides/carbon nanotubes (NiCoAl-LDH@CNT) demonstrate a
maximum energy density of 70.9 W h kg–1 with a wide
voltage window of 1.8 V and good cycling stability with 84.4% of initial
capacitance after 5000 cycles. This work provides insights into the
fabrication of high-performance carbon electrodes by encapsulating
redox species into microporous frameworks.
