Three-dimensional carbon nanofiber (3D-CNF)-supported hollow copper sulfide (HCuS) spheres were synthesized by the facile hydrothermal method. The morphology of the as-synthesized HCuS@3D-CNF composite clearly revealed that the 3D-CNFs act as a basement for HCuS spheres. The electrochemical performance of as-synthesized HCuS@3D-CNFs was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests, gravimetric charge-discharge (GCD) tests, and Nyquist plots. The obtained results revealed that the HCuS@3D-CNFs exhibited greater areal capacitance (4.6 F/cm) compared to bare HCuS (0.64 F/cm) at a current density of 2 mA/cm. Furthermore, HCuS@3D-CNFs retained excellent cyclic stability of 83.2% after 5000 cycles. The assembled asymmetric device (HCuS@3D-CNFs//BAC) exhibits an energy density of 0.15 mWh/cm with a working potential window of 1.5 V in KOH electrolyte. The obtained results demonstrate that HZnS@3D-CNF nanoarchitectonics is a potential electrode material for supercapacitor applications.
采用简便的水热法合成了三维碳纳米纤维(3D-CNF)支撑的空心硫化铜(HCuS)球。所合成的 HCuS@3D-CNF 复合材料的形态清楚地表明,3D-CNF 作为 HCuS 球的基底。通过循环伏安法(CV)测试、重量法充放电(GCD)测试和奈奎斯特图评估了所合成的 HCuS@3D-CNF 的电化学性能。得到的结果表明,在电流密度为 2 mA/cm 时,与裸 HCuS(0.64 F/cm)相比,HCuS@3D-CNF 的比面积电容(4.6 F/cm)更大。此外,HCuS@3D-CNF 在 5000 次循环后仍保持优异的循环稳定性,保持率为 83.2%。组装的非对称器件(HCuS@3D-CNFs//BAC)在 KOH 电解质中具有 1.5 V 的工作电位窗口,能量密度为 0.15 mWh/cm。结果表明,HCuS@3D-CNF 纳米结构是超级电容器应用的一种有前途的电极材料。
