The fabrication of energy storage electrode materials with high specific capacitance and rapid charge-discharge capability has become an essential and major issue of concern in recent years. In the present work, sphere-shaped interconnected interlinked binder-free nickel sulfide (NiS) grown on the surface of a three-dimensional nickel foam (3DNF) was fabricated by a one-step solvothermal method under optimized synthesis conditions, including different solvents, amounts of sulfur, and experimental reaction times. The fabricated binder-free SS-NiS@3DNF-E electrodes were characterized by a range of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques and further evaluated for their comparative electrochemical supercapacitive performance in half-cell assembly cells. The optimized sphere-shaped interconnected interlinked binder-free SS-NiS@3DNF-E-3 electrode showed an outstanding specific capacitance of 694.0 F/g compared to SS-NiS@3DNF-E-1 (188.0 F/g), SS-NiS@3DNF-E-2 (470.0 F/g), and SS-NiS@3DNF-E-4 (230.0 F/g) as well as excellent cycling stability up to 88% after 6700 continuous charge-discharge cycles, with an energy density of 24.9 Wh/kg at a power density of 250.93 W/kg. The obtained results demonstrate that the interconnected interlinked binder-free NiS@nickel electrode is a potential candidate for energy storage applications.
近年来,制备具有高比电容和快速充放电能力的储能电极材料已成为一个至关重要且备受关注的主要问题。在本工作中,通过一步溶剂热法,在优化的合成条件下,包括不同溶剂、硫的用量和实验反应时间,制备了生长在三维泡沫镍(3DNF)表面的球形互连无粘结剂硫化镍(NiS)。所制备的无粘结剂SS-NiS@3DNF-E电极通过一系列光谱和显微镜技术进行表征,并在半电池组装电池中进一步评估其比较电化学超级电容性能。优化后的球形互连无粘结剂SS-NiS@3DNF-E-3电极显示出694.0 F/g的出色比电容,相比之下,SS-NiS@3DNF-E-1(188.0 F/g)、SS-NiS@3DNF-E-2(470.0 F/g)和SS-NiS@3DNF-E-4(230.0 F/g);在连续6700次充放电循环后,其循环稳定性高达88%,在功率密度为250.93 W/kg时能量密度为24.9 Wh/kg。所得结果表明,互连无粘结剂的NiS@镍电极是储能应用的潜在候选材料。
