The synthesized NiCo 2 S 4 @MnS/CC electrode shows high capacitance of 1908.3 F g −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 which is higher than those of NiCo 2 S 4 and MnS at the same current density. A flexible all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) is constructed by using NiCo 2 S 4 @MnS/CC as positive electrode, active carbon/CC as negative electrode and KOH/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as electrolyte. The optimized ASC shows a maximum energy density of 23.3 Wh kg −1 at 1 A g −1 , a maximum power density of about 7.5 kw kg −1 at 10 A g −1 and remarkable cycling stability. After 90 0 0 cycles, the ASC still exhibited 67.8% retention rate and largely unchanged charge/discharge curves. The excellent electrochemical properties are resulted from the novel core-shell structure of the NiCo 2 S 4 @MnS/CC electrode, which possesses both high surface area for Faraday redox reaction and superior kinetics of charge transport. The NiCo 2 S 4 @MnS/CC electrode shows a promising potential for energy storage applications in the future.
