Mesoporous C@FexSy composite as a negative electrode for supercapacitors was synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal treatment followed by an electrodeposition process and its electrochemical properties were studied. Compared with bare carbon sphere, the electrochemical performance of C@FexSy composite was significantly improved, with a high specific capacitance (267.45 F/g), good rate performance (201.08 F/g at 2.5 A/g), and superior cycling stability (almost no capacitance degradation after 1000 cycles). The results show that the obtained C@FexSy composite is a promising negative electrode material for supercapacitors

A functional carbon nanotube/mesoporous carbon/MnO2hybrid network has been developed successfully through a facile route. The resulting composites exhibited a high specific capacitance of 351 F/g at 1 A g−1, with intriguing charge/discharge rate performance and cycling stability due to a synergistic combination of large surface area and excellent electron-transport capabilities of MnO2with the good conductivity of the carbon nanotube/mesoporous carbon networks. Such composite shows great potential to be used as electrodes for supercapacitors.

Herein, Ni(OH)2 on carbon sphere nanostructure together with its derivatives, including NiO on carbon sphere, yolk–shell structure of NiO on carbon sphere and hollow NiO, were prepared with precise control and then applied as supercapacitors. Among them, NiO on carbon sphere exhibits a high specific capacitance (270.4[Formula: see text]F g[Formula: see text] at 0.5[Formula: see text]A g[Formula: see text]), excellent rate performance (77.6% retention with 20-time current density increase) and good cycling stability (75.9% retention after 2000 cycles). The results indicate that carbon sphere plays a significant role in enhancing the electrical conductivity and electronic transportation process, ensuring the synergistic effects between carbon sphere and NiO shell.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising alternatives to lithium-based energy storage devices for large-scale applications, but conventional lithium-ion battery anode materials do not provide adequate reversible Na-ion storage. In contrast, conversion-based transition metal sulfides have high theoretical capacities and are suitable anode materials for SIBs. Iron sulfide (FeS) is environmentally benign and inexpensive but suffers from low conductivity and sluggish Na-ion diffusion kinetics. In addition, significant volume changes during the sodiation of FeS destroy the electrode structure and shorten the cycle life. Herein, we report the rational design of the FeS/carbon composite, specifically FeS encapsulated within a hierarchically ordered mesoporous carbon prepared via nanocasting using a SBA-15 template with stable cycle life. We evaluated the Na-ion storage properties and found that the parallel 2D mesoporous channels in the resultant FeS/carbon composite enhanced the conductivity, buffered the volume changes, and prevented unwanted side reactions. Further, high-rate Na-ion storage (363.4 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at 2 A g−1, 132.5 mAh g−1 at 20 A g−1) was achieved, better than that of the bare FeS electrode, indicating the benefit of structural confinement for rapid ion transfer, and demonstrating the excellent electrochemical performance of this anode material at high rates.
