A novel core–shell hetero-structured electrode (NF@CoO@Co/N–C) is designed and synthesized via a “anchor-etch-calcine” process for boosting electrochemical capacitor behaviour. The unique structure endows NF@CoO@Co/N–C with ultrahigh areal capacitances and good rate capability.

Abstract The carbon sphere (CS)@nickel cobalt sulfide core-shell nanocomposite at five different mole ratios have been synthesized by a facile low-temperature water-bath method without any thermal treatment. The XRD results on CS, NiCo2S4 and its ternary complexation confirms nanocomposite formation which matches with the cubic structure. The FTIR confirms the complexation of CS and metal-sulfide core-shell. TEM morphology shows CS at NiCo2S4 forming a core-shell which appears as interlinked bunch of grapes. The BET surface analysis observes the high surface area for the core-shell. The XPS studies confirm the elemental presence and valence states of metal composition of the core-shell. Electrochemical studies on the pure NiCo2S4 and CS@NiCo2S4 have shown that CS@NiCo2S4 in 1:1 ratio (scn2) only exhibits higher specific capacitance of 838 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 with capacity retention of 89 % for 5000 cycles than other mole ratios. Using this scn2, asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device fabrication has been studied. The electrochemical studies on ASC reveal high energy density of 101 Wh kg−1 with the power density of 6.3 k W kg−1, and having good cycling stability with 92 % of capacitance retention even after 3000 cycles at 20 A g−1.

This paper focuses on the latest progress in the preparation of a series of nanostructured anode materials in our laboratory and their electrochemical properties for Li-ion batteries. These anode materials include core-shell structured Si nanocomposites, TiO2 nanocomposites, novel MoO2 anode material, and carbon nanotube (CNT)-coated SnO2 nanowires (NWs). The substantial advantages of these nanostructured anodes provide greatly improved electrochemical performance including high capacity, better cycling behavior, and rate capability.

This paper reports a FeF3·0.33H2O/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite for energy storage applications. The composite material is prepared by solvothermal reaction with FeF3·3H2O and MWCNTs as precursors, and FeF3·3H2O was removed of crystalliferous water and converted to FeF3·0.33H2O during solvothermal treatment. Structural characterizations show that FeF3·0.33H2O that crystalline with a diameter of about 30 nm were distributed in the network of MWCNTs. As a cathode material for lithium ion batteries, FeF3·0.33H2O/MWCNTs was superior to pure FeF3·0.33H2O in terms of high capacity (an initial capacity of 181 mAh g-1 in 2.0-4.3 V at 20 mA g-1), good cycleability (50% capacity retension at 50th cycle) and good rate capability (116 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1). The enhanced performances were attributed to the conductive MWCNT network which improved the electron transport ability and buffered volume change of the cathode.
