In the present study, the synthesis of CoWO4 (CWO)–Ni nanocomposites was conducted using a wet chemical method. The crystalline phases and morphologies of the Ni nanoparticles, CWO, and CWO–Ni composites were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). The electrochemical properties of CWO and CWO–Ni composite electrode materials were assessed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) tests using KOH as a supporting electrolyte. Among the CWO–Ni composites containing different amounts of Ni1, Ni2, and Ni3, CWO–Ni3 exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 271 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, which was greater than that of bare CWO (128 F g−1). Moreover, the CWO–Ni3 composite electrode material displayed excellent reversible cyclic stability and maintained 86.4% of its initial capacitance after 1500 discharge cycles. The results obtained herein demonstrate that the prepared CWO–Ni3 nanocomposite is a promising electrode candidate for supercapacitor applications.

A single step synthesized Co3O4–polyindole composite electrode exhibits high specific capacitance, rate performance and cyclability. This enhanced electrochemical supercapacitive behavior is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between Co3O4 and polyindole.

NiMoO4/g-C3N4 was fabricated by a hydrothermal method and used as an electrode material in a supercapacitor. The samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the physical and structural properties of the as-prepared NiMoO4/g-C3N4 material. The electrochemical responses of pristine NiMoO4 and the NiMoO4/g-C3N4 nanocomposite material were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). From the CD studies, the NiMoO4/g-C3N4 nanocomposite revealed a higher maximum specific capacitance (510 Fg−1) in comparison to pristine NiMoO4 (203 Fg−1). In addition, the NiMoO4/g-C3N4 composite electrode material exhibited high stability, which maintained up to 91.8% capacity even after 2000 charge-discharge cycles. Finally, NiMoO4/g-C3N4 was found to exhibit an energy density value of 11.3 Whkg−1. These findings clearly suggested that NiMoO4/g-C3N4 could be a suitable electrode material for electrochemical capacitors.

NiCo2O4 as an electrode material for supercapacitors (SCs) has been studied by a host of researchers due to its unique structural characteristics and high capacitance. However, its performance has not yet reached the level of practical applications.it is an effective strategy to synthesize composite electrode materials for tackling the problem. Herein, NiCo2O4@ZnCo2O4 as a novel core–shell composite electrode material has been fabricated through a two-step simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared sample can be directly used as cathode material of a supercapacitor, and its specific capacitance is 463.1 C/g at 1 A/g. An assembled capacitor has an energy density of 77 Wh·kg−1 at 2700 W·kg−1, and after 8000 cycles, 88% of the initial capacity remains.

Fabrication of Nanogenerators (NGs) using Electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers for sensing and energy harvesting applications is a trending research due to its flexibility, biocompatibility, low-cost, etc. Different electrode materials, polymer composites had been proposed to increase the energy output. However, the contact area between the electrode material and nanofiber mat which helps to conduct more piezoelectric charges to the electrode surface are still unexplored especially at nanoscale level. In this paper, authors have proposed the use of low-cost carbon conductive paint to increase the contact area between the electrode and nanofiber mat. The electrode material is coated with conductive paint and the NG was fabricated with that electrode to compare the performances with conventional NG. Piezoelectric performance of the proposed NG has increased substantially as it generates an open circuit voltage [Formula: see text]) of 4.5[Formula: see text]V and short circuit current [Formula: see text]) of 25[Formula: see text]nA, whereas the conventional NG can only produce 1.6 [Formula: see text]) and 1.5[Formula: see text]nA [Formula: see text]). A drop test experiment was conducted, and the device consistency was verified experimentally.

2,3,5,6-Tetrasubstituted-4-aryl-1-(6-ethoxybenzothiazol-2-yl)-1,4-dihydropyridines were synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-6-ethoxybenzothiazole, an aromatic aldehyde and an active methylene compound in methanol by conventional or microwave irradiation method (solvent-free or with solid support). All compounds were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities and the results were compared with standard drugs. Their acaricidal and antifeedant activities were also tested.
