Demanding more reliable
power sources causes a huge development
of modern electronic and optoelectronic devices with a high energy
density (ENDE) and exceptional durability. Accordingly,
designing modern electrode materials with outstanding structures can
improve the construction of a new generation of electronic devices.
Transition metal oxides hollow structures (TMOHS) have received considerable
attention as appropriate materials for supercapacitors due to their
structural properties and electrochemical performances. As a fascinating
TMOHS, we make a new highly porous triple-shelled cobalt gallium oxide
(CoGa2O4) hollow spheres (HTS-CGOHS) with triple
narrow shells, and pseudocapacitive graphene wrapped CuFeS2 hollow spheres (GW@CFSHS) as developed positive and negative electrodes,
respectively, in an energy storage device. The HTS-CGOHS electrode
shows specific capacitance (SpCa) of 1724.30 F g–1 (239.5 mAh g–1) at 1 A g–1 which
maintains as high as 1198.40 F g–1 (166.44 mAh g–1) at 24 A g–1, and reasonable durableness
(96.80% capacity retention at 12 A g–1) owing to
the low internal resistance, fast kinetics, reversibility, high surface
area (104.30 m2 g–1), and numerous active
sites. Moreover, the GW@CFSHS advanced negative electrode reveals
electrochemical performance comprising a SpCa of 621.20 F g–1 (172.6 mAh g–1), rate performance of 58% and excellent
durableness, which are superior to that of CuFeS2 hollow
sphere (CFSHS) electrode. According to the electrochemical nature
of the as-obtained pseudocapacitive electrode materials, an energy
storage device (ESD) based on the HTS-CGOHS as a cathode and GW@CFSHS
as an anode was studied. The HTS-CGOHS//GW@CFSHS device shows SpCa
of 376.40 F g–1 (153.1 mAh g–1), high ENDE of 114.8 W h kg–1, and notable durableness (only 6.3% decrease after 5000 cycles at
6 A g–1).
