In this work, cabbage-like NiCo2S4/MoS2 assemblies are prepared via a simple hydrothermal process. The as-prepared product as electrode material possesses a specific capacitance of 612 C g−1 at 1 A g−1 and 94% capacitance retention after 10000 cycles at 10 A g−1. Furthermore, the as-assembled asymmetric supercapacitor exhibits an energy density of 73.3 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 453.4 W kg−1. It demonstrates that the cabbage-like structures present promising applications in future energy storage devices.

Abstract Development of sustainable electrochemical energy storage devices faces great challenge in exploring highly efficient and low cost electrode materials. Biomass waste derived carbonaceous materials can be used as an alternative to expensive metals in supercapacitor. However, their application limited by low performance. In this study, the combination use of persimmon waste derived carbon and transition metal nitride demonstrated strong potential for supercapacitor application. Persimmon based carbonaceous gel decorated with bimetallic-nitride (N-NiCo/PC) was firstly synthesized through a green hydrothermal method. Electrochemical properties of N-NiCo/PC as electrode in 6 M KOH electrolyte solution were evaluated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and charge-discharge measurements. The N-NiCo/PC exhibited 895.5 F/g specific capacitance at 1 A/g current density and maintained 91.5% capacitance retention after 900 cycles. Hence, the bimetallic nitride-based-composite catalyst is a potentially suitable material for high-performance energy storage devices. In addition, this work demonstrated a promising pathway for transforming environmental waste into sustainable energy conversion materials.

Background: As an emerging carbon nanomaterial, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have shown great potential application in new energy storage devices due to their unique small size effect and abundant edge active sites. This work introduces the main synthesis strategies of GQDs, which includes top-down and bottom-up methods; the application examples of GQDs and GQDs-based composites in energy storage are reviewed, and more, the unique advantages of GQDs are used in supercapacitors, Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and Lithium-sulfur batteries (Li–S batteries) are highlighted. The problems and development prospects in this growing area are also discussed. Method: We conducted a detailed search of “the application of GQDs in energy storage devices” in the published papers and the public patents based on Web of Science database in the period from 2014 to 2020. The corresponding literature was carefully evaluated and analyzed. Results: Sixty papers and twenty-eight recent patents were included in this mini-review. The significant advances in the recent years are summarized with comparative and balanced discussion. Thanks to the unique properties of large specific surface area, high conductivity and abundant active sites, GQDs have unparalleled potential application for new energy storage, especially improving the specific capacity and cycle stability of supercapacitors, LIBs and Li-S batteries. Conclusion: The findings of this mini-review confirm the importance of GQDs, show the enhanced electrochemical performance in supercapacitors, LIBs and Li-S batteries, and also provide a helpful guide to design and fabricate highefficiency electrode materials.
