Construction of CoO/Co‐Cu‐S Hierarchical Tubular Heterostructures for Hybrid Supercapacitors

Abstract

Hierarchical hollow structures for electrode materials of supercapacitors could enlarge the surface area, accelerate the transport of ions and electrons, and accommodate volume expansion during cycling. Besides, construction of heterostructures would enhance the internal electric fields to regulate the electronic structures. All these features of hierarchical hollow heterostructures are beneficial for promoting the electrochemical properties and stability of electrode materials for high‐performance supercapacitors. Herein, CoO/Co‐Cu‐S hierarchical tubular heterostructures (HTHSs) composed of nanoneedles are prepared by an efficient multi‐step approach. The optimized sample exhibits a high specific capacity of 320 mAh g−1 (2300 F g−1) at 2.0 A g−1 and outstanding cycling stability with 96.5 % of the initial capacity retained after 5000 cycles at 10 A g−1. Moreover, an all‐solid‐state hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) constructed with the CoO/Co‐Cu‐S and actived carbon shows a stable and high energy density of 90.7 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 800 W kg−1.

Bimetal‐organic Framework‐derived Co9S8/ZnS@NC Heterostructures for Superior Lithium‐ion Storage

“…So far, many strategies including downsizing the particle size to fabricate hierarchical nanostructures, constructing composites with conductive carbon matrix, and integration with heterogeneous hybrids to shorten electronic and ionic transport paths, alleviate the internal strain, improve the electrical conductivity, and accommodate the volume changes during cycling, have been devoted to promote the lithium storage performance of metal sulfides. Among these effective approaches, construction of heterostructures consisted of different components with bandgaps difference, is an effective way to promote the electrochemical performance, which could generate a strong built‐in electric field ( E ‐field), promote interface charge transport of ions and electrons, thus improving the reaction kinetics . Recently, a Fe 9 S 10 /ZnS heterostructures has been designed to deliver highly efficient sodium storage due to the strong internal E ‐field accelerating Na + diffusion kinetics .…”

Molecule-assisted modulation of the high-valence Co3+ in 3D honeycomb-like CoxSy networks for high-performance solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors

“…Yet, the low energy density seriously impeded their wide applications [7,8]. In this regard, solid-state asymmetric SCs (ASCs) consisting of a battery-type cathode and a capacitor-type anode have sprung up, which are recognized as a superior structure to effectively enhance the energy density by both widening the voltage window and increasing the specific capacitance [9].…”
