“…As exhibited in the Ragone plot (Figure f), the fabricated alkaline aqueous battery manifests a large specific energy of 37.2 W h kg –1 at 500 W kg –1 , and it maintains a decent specific energy of 11.9 W h kg –1 at 10 kW kg –1 . Notably, the highest specific energy of the assembled (Ni 0.5 Co 0.5 ) 0.85 Se//rGO/Fe 2 O 3 alkaline aqueous battery in the present study is larger than that of several previously explored alkaline aqueous energy storage systems, including CoSe//AC (18.6 W h kg –1 at 750 W kg –1 ), CuCo 2 O 4 /CuO//rGO/Fe 2 O 3 (33 W h kg –1 at 200 W kg –1 ), Ni 0.85 Se@MoSe 2 //GNS (25.5 W h kg –1 at 420 W kg –1 ), NiCo 2 O 4 /NiO//Fe 2 O 3 (19 W h kg –1 at 157 W kg –1 ), Ni 0.85 Se//AC (22.3 W h kg –1 at 829 W kg –1 ), NiCo 2 O 4 /CQDs//AC (27.8 W h kg –1 at 128 W kg –1 ), NiCo 2 O 4 //FeSe 2 (22.4 W h kg –1 at 163 W kg –1 ), NiCo 2 S 4 @PPy/NF//AC (34.62 W h kg –1 at 120.19 W kg –1 ), and NiSe@MoSe 2 //N-PMCN (32.6 W h kg –1 at 415 W kg –1 ) . As demonstrated in Figure g, the cycle stability of the (Ni 0.5 Co 0.5 ) 0.85 Se//rGO/Fe 2 O 3 alkaline aqueous battery was investigated at 3 A g –1 for 2000 cycles, and 84.5% of capacity retention was maintained, which indicated good cycle stability, showing the great potential for practical applications.…”
