Innovative hollow FeNi2S4 decorated on exfoliated graphite as an efficient electrode material for asymmetric supercapacitors
摘要
The growing demand for efficient and durable energy storage devices has propelled interest in ternary transition metal sulfides due to their versatile redox chemistry and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, their performance is often hindered by limited electrical conductivity. In this study, a hollow-spherical Iron Nickel Sulfide (FeNi2S4) material was synthesized using a simple solvothermal strategy and subsequently combined with exfoliated graphite (EG) to form a hybrid composite. This integration significantly enhanced the specific capacitance from 159.4 to 342 F g-1 at 1 A g-1, while also improving the cycling stability. After 10,000 charge-discharge cycles, the electrode composite retained 92.3% of its initial capacitance while maintaining a coulombic efficiency of approximately 95.1%. Furthermore, the assembled FNSEG1//AC device delivers an energy density of 35 Wh kg-1 at 800 W kg-1, with a peak power density of 12,800 W kg-1, while maintaining 81.6% of initial capacitance after 5,000 stability cycles. The stability of FeNi2S4 is attributed to its cooperative effect with the conductive exfoliated graphite network, highlighting its potential for next-generation energy storage systems.
