Zusammenfassung: | 3D‐networked, ultrathin, and porous Ni3S2/CoNi2S4 on Ni foam (NF) is successfully designed and synthesized by a simple sulfidation process from 3D Ni–Co precursors. Interestingly, the edge site‐enriched Ni3S2/CoNi2S4/NF 3D‐network is realized by the etching‐like effect of S2− ions, which made the surfaces of Ni3S2/CoNi2S4/NF with a ridge‐like feature. The intriguing structural/compositional/componental advantages endow 3D‐networked‐free‐standing Ni3S2/CoNi2S4/NF electrodes better electrochemical performance with specific capacitance of 2435 F g−1 at a current density of 2 A g−1 and an excellent rate capability of 80% at 20 A g−1. The corresponding asymmetric supercapacitor achieves a high energy density of 40.0 W h kg−1 at an superhigh power density of 17.3 kW kg−1, excellent specific capacitance (175 F g−1 at 1A g−1), and electrochemical cycling stability (92.8% retention after 6000 cycles) with Ni3S2/CoNi2S4/NF as the positive electrode and activated carbon/NF as the negative electrode. Moreover, the temperature dependences of cyclic voltammetry curve polarization and specific capacitances are carefully investigated, and become more obvious and higher, respectively, with the increase of test temperature. These can be attributed to the components' synergetic effect assuring rich redox reactions, high conductivity as well as highly porous but robust architectures. This work provides a general, low‐cost route to produce high performance electrode materials for portable supercapacitor applications on a large scale.
An ultrathin, porous, and free‐standing Ni3S2/CoNi2S4 3D‐network on Ni foam (Ni3S2/CoNi2S4/NF) is successfully designed and synthesized by a sulfidation process on the nanosheets‐assembled 3D‐networked Ni–Co precursor (Ni–Co precursor/NF). Using such edge site‐enriched 3D‐network as the positive electrode, this study further demonstrates that asymmetrical supercapacitors possess excellent mechanical stability, large specific capacitance, and high energy densities. |
