Abstract Bare PbS QDs and PbS-GQDs nanocomposite were prepared by chemical methods for supercapattery application and characterized by suitable analytical techniques confirming the formation of PbS-GQDs nanocomposite. The electrochemical performance of the fabricated electrodes showed that the PbS-GQDs nanocomposite exhibited high specific capacity, energy and power densities of 577.94 C g-1 , 166.45 Wh kg-1 and 576.01 W kg-1 respectively at 2 A g-1 compared to that of bare PbS QDs. The enhanced electrochemical performance of PbS-GQDs can be associated with the conductive platform provided by synergistic effect of GQDs. The nonlinearity in charge and discharge curves confirms the supercapattery behaviour of the nanocomposite. Also, PbS-G QDs nanocomposite electrode showed highly cyclic stability compared to bare PbS QDs after 5000 cycles. The results emphasize the potential of PbS-G QDs nanocomposite as a stable active electrode material for energy storage application.

In this study, we report on a combined approach to preparing an active electrode material for supercapattery application by making nanocomposites of Polyaniline/Cerium (PANI/Ce) with different weight percentages of magnetite (Fe3O4). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses supported the interaction of PANI with Ce and the formation of the successful nanocomposite with magnetite nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses showed the uniform and porous morphology of the composites. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) were used to test the supercapattery behavior of the nanocomposite electrodes in 1.0 M H2SO4. It was found that the supercapattery electrode of PANI/Ce+7 wt.% Fe3O4 exhibited a specific capacity of 171 mAhg−1 in the potential range of −0.2 to 1.0 V at the current density of 2.5 Ag−1. Moreover, PANI/Ce+7 wt.% Fe3O4 revealed a power density of 376.6 Wkg−1 along with a maximum energy density of 25.4 Whkg−1 at 2.5 Ag−1. Further, the cyclic stability of PANI/Ce+7 wt.% Fe3O4 was found to be 96.0% after 5,000 cycles. The obtained results suggested that the PANI/Ce+Fe3O4 nanocomposite could be a promising electrode material candidate for high-performance supercapattery applications.

A facile, one-pot hydrothermal method was used to synthesize Nickel selenide (NiSe) nanoparticles decorated with reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (rGO), denoted as NiSe/rGO. The NiSe/rGO exhibits good electrochemical performance when tested as anodes for Na-ion batteries (SIBs) and Li-ion batteries (LIBs). An initial reversible capacity of 423 mA h g−1 is achieved for SIBs with excellent cyclability (378 mA h g−1 for 50th cycle at 0.05 A g−1). As anode for LIBs, it delivers a remarkable reversible specific capacity of 1125 mA h g−1 at 0.05 A g−1. The enhanced electrochemical performance of NiSe/rGO nanocomposites can be ascribed to the synergic effects between NiSe nanoparticles and rGO, which provide high conductivity and large specific surface area, indicating NiSe/rGO as very promising Na/Li storage materials.

Shuttle-like CuO has been synthesized by treating commercial Cu(OH)2 powder at room temperature for an appropriate time. As anode material of lithium-ion batteries, shuttle-like CuO exhibits high specific capacity, high stability, and good rate performance, superior to commercial CuO powder. The shuttle-like CuO exhibited a high specific capacitance of 456.8 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mAg-1 and maintained a good stability in 50 cycles, suggesting that it can be a promising candidate for lithium-ion batteries. The high specific capacitance and remarkable rate capability are promising for applications in lithium-ion batteries with both high energy and power densities.

AbstractAmmonium vanadate with bronze structure (NH4V4O10) is a promising cathode material for zinc-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity and low cost. However, the extraction of $${\text{NH}}_{{4}}^{ + }$$ NH 4 + at a high voltage during charge/discharge processes leads to irreversible reaction and structure degradation. In this work, partial $${\text{NH}}_{{4}}^{ + }$$ NH 4 + ions were pre-removed from NH4V4O10 through heat treatment; NH4V4O10 nanosheets were directly grown on carbon cloth through hydrothermal method. Deficient NH4V4O10 (denoted as NVO), with enlarged interlayer spacing, facilitated fast zinc ions transport and high storage capacity and ensured the highly reversible electrochemical reaction and the good stability of layered structure. The NVO nanosheets delivered a high specific capacity of 457 mAh g−1 at a current density of 100 mA g−1 and a capacity retention of 81% over 1000 cycles at 2 A g−1. The initial Coulombic efficiency of NVO could reach up to 97% compared to 85% of NH4V4O10 and maintain almost 100% during cycling, indicating the high reaction reversibility in NVO electrode.
