One‐Pot Synthesis of Tunable Crystalline Ni3S4@Amorphous MoS2 Core/Shell Nanospheres for High‐Performance Supercapacitors

Transition metal sulfides gain much attention as electrode materials for supercapacitors due to their rich redox chemistry and high electrical conductivity. Designing hierarchical nanostructures is an efficient approach to fully utilize merits of each component. In this work, amorphous MoS₂ is firstly demonstrated to show specific capacitance 1.6 times as that of the crystalline counterpart. Then, crystalline core@amorphous shell (Ni₃S₄@MoS₂) is prepared by a facile one‐pot process. The diameter of the core and the thickness of the shell can be independently tuned. Taking advantages of flexible protection of amorphous shell and high capacitance of the conductive core, Ni₃S₄@amorphous MoS₂ nanospheres are tested as supercapacitor electrodes, which exhibit high specific capacitance of 1440.9 F g^?1 at 2 A g^?1 and a good capacitance retention of 90.7% after 3000 cycles at 10 A g^?1. This design of crystalline core@amorphous shell architecture may open up new strategies for synthesizing promising electrode materials for supercapacitors.     

Porous Hybrid Composites of Few‐Layer MoS2 Nanosheets Embedded in a Carbon Matrix with an Excellent Supercapacitor Electrode Performance

Porous hierarchical architectures of few‐layer MoS₂ nanosheets dispersed in carbon matrix are prepared by a microwave‐hydrothermal method followed by annealing treatment via using glucose as C source and structure‐directing agent and (NH₄)₂MoS₄ as both Mo and S sources. It is found that the morphology and size of the secondary building units (SBUs), the size and layer number of MoS₂ nanosheets as well as the distribution of MoS₂ nanosheets in carbon matrix, can be effectively controlled by simply adjusting the molar ratio of (NH₄)₂MoS₄ to glucose, leading to the materials with a low charge–transfer resistance, many electrochemical active sites and a robust structure for an outstanding energy storage performance including a high specific capacitance (589 F g⁻¹ at 0.5 A g⁻¹), a good rate capability (364 F g⁻¹ at 20 A g⁻¹), and an excellent cycling stability (retention 104% after 2000 cycles) for application in supercapacitors. The exceptional rate capability endows the electrode with a high energy density of 72.7 Wh kg⁻¹ and a high power density of 12.0 kW kg⁻¹ simultaneously. This work presents a facile and scalable approach for synthesizing novel heterostructures of MoS₂‐based electrode materials with an enhanced rate capability and cyclability for potential application in supercapacitor.

Controlled Incorporation of Ni(OH)2 Nanoplates Into Flowerlike MoS2 Nanosheets for Flexible All‐Solid‐State Supercapacitors

In this work, self‐supporting three‐dimensional hierarchical nanostructured MoS₂@Ni(OH)₂ nanocomposites are synthesized via a facile single‐mode microwave hydrothermal technique. The fabricated MoS₂@Ni(OH)₂ nanocomposites for supercapacitors in aqueous electrolyte exhibit higher specific capacitance and better cyclic stability than those of MoS₂ and Ni(OH)₂ due to the pronounced synergistic effect between MoS₂ and Ni(OH)₂. Further, the flexible all‐solid‐state supercapcitor is readily constructed by composing the PVA/KOH gel electrolyte in between two MoS₂@Ni(OH)₂ electrodes on the flexible PET substrates. The resulting supercapacitors can operate at high rate up to 1000 V/s, have excellent long‐life cycling stability, retaining 94.2% of the initial capacitance after 9000 cycles, and mechanical flexibility during extreme bending, respectively. Thereby, the MoS₂@Ni(OH)₂ nanocomposites are a promising electrode materials for flexible long‐life cycling all‐solid‐sate supercapacitors.     

超电容器复合活性炭电极的制备及性能研究

用高比表面积活性炭作为原料,酚醛树脂为粘结剂,在120℃高温下粘结成型制备系列超电容器用固体活性炭电极,改变酚醛树脂添加量考察不同炭化温度对复合活性炭电极炭化收率的影响。实验发现,随着炭化温度的提高,复合活性炭电极的炭化收率呈逐渐降低的趋势,炭化温度高于800℃时复合活性炭电极比电容量下降。酚醛树脂掺杂量多时收率降低。另外在酚醛树脂中加入固化剂可提高其炭化收率。不同组成的复合活性炭电极中,微孔活性炭含量大,则比电容量高。     

Electrochemically Tuned Properties for Electrolyte‐Free Carbon Nanotube Sheets

Injecting high electronic charge densities can profoundly change the optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of materials. Such charge injection in bulk materials has traditionally involved either dopant intercalation or the maintained use of a contacting electrolyte. Tunable electrochemical charge injection and charge retention, in which neither volumetric intercalation of ions nor maintained electrolyte contact is needed, are demonstrated for carbon nanotube sheets in the absence of an applied field. The tunability of electrical conductivity and electron field emission in the subsequent material is presented. Application of this material to supercapacitors may extend their charge‐storage times because they can retain charge after the removal of the electrolyte.
