Preparation Of Nis2 Nanosheet And Its Application In Asymmetric Supercapacitor, Yuan-You Wang, Ya-Nan Liu, Dang-Qin Jin

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this work, the NiS2 nanosheets have been synthesized using Ni(OH)2 as a precursor through a sacrificial template method. The microstructure and chemical composition of as-prepared NiS2 were characterized by XRD, EDS, BET, SEM and TEM techniques. The results showed that both Ni(OH)2 and NiS2 were composed of nanoplates. The electrochemical tests revealed that NiS2 exhibited the high specific capacitance of 1067.3 F•g-1 at a current density of 1 A•g-1 and excellent rate performance. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the practical application of NiS2, an asymmetric supercapacitor, NiS2 as …

Strategies To Enhance Energy Density For Supercapacitors, Jun-Wei Lang, Xu Zhang, Ru-Tao Wang, Xing-Bin Yan

Journal of Electrochemistry

The biggest advantage of supercapacitor lies in not only the excellent pulse and fast charging-discharging performance, but also the characteristics of long cycle life and wide operating temperature window with no pollution. However, the energy density of supercapacitor is low. In this paper, the working principle, the development status, defects and improvement method of supercapacitors are introduced. Based on the research workes of the supercapacitors with high energy density in our group, combined with the literature reports in recent years, the strategies to promote the energy density of supercarpacitors will be focused. The strategies for the enhancement of energy density …
