Nanostructured iron disulfide (FeS 2 ) was uniformly deposited on regenerated cellulose (RC) and oxidized carbon nanotube (CNT)-based composite films using a simple chemical bath deposition method to form RC/CNT/FeS 2 composite films. The RC/CNT composite film served as an ideal substrate for the homogeneous deposition of FeS 2 microspheres due to its unique porous architecture, large specific surface area, and high conductivity. Polypyrrole (PPy), a conductive polymer, was coated on the RC/CNT/FeS 2 composite to improve its conductivity and cycling stability. Due to the synergistic effect of FeS 2 with high redox activity and PPy with high stability and conductivity, the RC/ CNT/FeS 2 /PPy composite electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical performance. The RC/CNT/0.3FeS 2 /PPy-60 composite electrode tested with Na 2 SO 4 aqueous electrolyte could achieve an excellent areal capacitance of 6543.8 mF cm −2 at a current density of 1 mA cm −2 . The electrode retained 91.1% of its original capacitance after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the ion transfer channels with a pore diameter of 5−30 μm were formed in the RC/ CNT/0.3FeS 2 /PPy-60 film after a 10,000 cycle test. A symmetrical supercapacitor device composed of two identical pieces of RC/ CNT/0.3FeS 2 /PPy-60 composite electrodes provided a high areal capacitance of 1280 mF cm −2 , a maximum energy density of 329 μWh cm −2 , a maximum power density of 24.9 mW cm −2 , and 86.2% of capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles at 40 mA cm −2 when tested at a wide voltage window of 1.4 V. These results demonstrate the greatest potential of RC/CNT/FeS 2 /PPy composite electrodes for the fabrication of high-performance symmetric supercapacitors with high operating voltages.

“…Nowadays, significant research is aimed at maintaining significant energy sustainability in this field. As part of the massive effort to accomplish this goal, supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors or electrochemical supercapacitors, have drawn a lot of curiosity owing to their valuable features, such as their protracted cyclic stability [6,7], superior power and energy densities [8], and their performance being considerably higher than that of other energy storage devices like faradic batteries, electrostatic capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, ceramic capacitors, etc. [9,10].…”
Novel flake-like Ni1−xSnxO2 particles were successfully prepared by template-free hydrothermal synthesis. The prepared samples were investigated for their properties by different characterization techniques. Scanning micrographs showed that the obtained particles consisted of nanoflakes. The X-ray diffraction results of the Ni1−xSnxO2 revealed the formation of mixed-phase Ni/SnO2 having the typical tetragonal structure of SnO2, and the cubic structure of Ni in a nanocrystalline nature. The doping with Ni had a certain influence on the host’s lattice structure of SnO2 at different doping concentrations. Confirmation of the functional groups and the elements in the nanomaterials was accomplished using FTIR and EDS analyses. The electrochemical performance analysis of the prepared nanomaterials were carried out with the help of the CV, GCD, and EIS techniques. The specific capacitance of the synthesized nanomaterials with different concentrations of Ni dopant in SnO2 was analyzed at different scanning rates. Interestingly, a 5% Ni-doped SnO2 nanocomposite exhibited a maximum specific capacitance of 841.85 F g−1 at 5 mV s−1 in a 6 M KOH electrolyte. Further, to boost the electrochemical performance, a redox additive electrolyte was utilized, which exhibited a maximum specific capacitance of 2130.33 at 5 mV s−1 and an excellent capacitance retention of 93.22% after 10,000 GCD cycles. These excellent electrochemical characteristics suggest that the Ni/SnO2 nanocomposite could be utilized as an electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors.
