Abstract

ZnS/N-doped-carbon nanocomposites exhibiting remarkable Li storage performance are facilely prepared through the temperature-controllable vacuum pyrolysis of various ZnS-amine precursors.

Review and Outlook of Zinc Sulfide Nanostructures for Supercapacitors

“…ZnS nanocomposites with carbon nanomaterials exhibit promising electrochemical properties owing to their enhanced specific surface area, additional active sites, and conductivity. , Ramachandran et al synthesized and characterized ZnS-graphene nanocomposites by a solvothermal method. Results indicated the successful reduction of GO to graphene and the coating of graphene sheets with ZnS nanoparticles.…”

Investigations on the interconnection between chemical reactions and experimental results of Zn-based quantum dots

“…28 The formation rate of metal-complex ligands strongly depends on metal ions' oxidation state and electronic configuration, the charge on the complexing agent (ligand), and OH À ions. 29 Thus, zinc has the electronic configuration of [Ar]3d 10 and an oxidation state of 2 +, mainly forming the 4-or 6-coordinated complexes. Thus, the complexing agent also determines the final product's size and resultant morphology.…”

“…The anode material of the prepared nanocomposites shows a high reversible capacity of 800 mA h g −1 after 200 cycles at 0.1 A g −1 current value. 10 Yu et al constructed a novel photocatalytic ZnS/Ag 2 O nanocomposite. ZnS and Ag 2 O were prepared using the chemical precipitation method, where zinc nitrate hexahydrate was used as a zinc source.…”

Fabrication of Carbon‐Based ZnBi2S4 and ZnBi2Se4 Nanocomposites for Photocatalytic and Electrochemical Applications

“…Table 4 provides a comparison of the specific capacitance of the carbon nanocomposites. Equation (7) has been used to determine the specific capacitance of the fabricated nanostructured electrode from the CV curve. [51] C…”

“…[6] Among them, ZnS/carbon nanocomposites are of particular interest in electrochemical applications due to their improved conductivity and more active sites through modification of the carbon materials. [7] Due to its unique properties, the semiconductor material class known as bismuth chalcogenides (Bi 2 X 3 , where X = O, S, Se, and Te) has attracted more attention recently. [8] Bi 2 S 3 is now a strong option for photothermal energy storage, photocatalysis, optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices, photothermal therapy, and other applications.…”
