Supercapacitors (SCs) possess specialized capabilities
and exhibit
rapid charging and discharging rates, making them highly suitable
for integration into portable energy storage and conversion devices.
These devices have witnessed a notable surge in demand and are increasingly
contributing to the overall progress of the global energy industry.
However, the bimetallic sulfide displays a high energy density, and
high capacitance helps to resolve the limitation of monometallic sulfide.
This study examines the advantageous characteristics of AgBiS2 as a viable energy storage medium in electrochemistry. These
characteristics encompass a high level of electrical conductivity
and a relatively low cost. AgBiS2 nanostructures were effectively
synthesized in the laboratory by utilizing a straightforward hydrothermal
method. The produced nanostructure of AgBiS2 is subjected
to a range of evaluations encompassing electrochemical and physiochemical
analyses. A specimen of AgBiS2 was positioned onto a substrate
composed of nickel foam to facilitate measurement of its capacitance.
The combined effect of Ag and rate and the supercapacitor’s
electrochemical performance. The galvanometric charge–discharge
(GCD) profile of an AgBiS2 nanostructure, obtained using
a three-electrode configuration in 2.0 M KOH, demonstrates a specific
capacitance (C
s) of 650 F g–1 at 1 A g–1 current density. Additionally, the
nanostructure exhibits a capacitive retention of 89% over 7000 cycles
within the potential range 0–0.6 V (Ag/AgCl). When subjected
to symmetric analysis, the AgBiS2 electrode exhibits a
significant specific capacitance (C
s)
of 401 F g–1. This high capacitance is observed
at 1 A g–1 in a two-electrode setup, employing an
aqueous electrolyte of 2.0 M KOH. The symmetric AgBiS2 electrode-based
supercapacitor exhibits a specific energy (S
E) of 65 Wh kg–1 and a specific power (S
P) of 0.28 W kg–1. The capacitive
outcomes depend on the larger interfacial area, synergistic effect,
and low resistance value. According to capacitive investigations,
the AgBiS2 electrode exhibits potential utility in various
domains, including but not limited to supercapacitor applications,
photocatalysis, water splitting, and water remediation.
