A facile two-step method has been developed to synthesize 3D core/shell-structured composites (CNTs@Ni–Co–S) composed of ternary nickel cobalt sulfide nanosheets (Ni–Co–S) as the shell and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the core on a flexible Ni mesh (Ni@CNTs@Ni–Co–S).

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.

In order to explore the supercapacitor electrode material with high energy density, a composite material that nickel-cobalt sulfide loaded in graphene (NiCo2S4@rGO) with core-shell structure was successfully prepared by hydrothermal, room temperature vulcanization and annealing. The core-shell structure of the material greatly increased the contact area between the material and the electrolyte and improved the electrochemical performance. In addition, the energy density has been significantly improved. NiCo2S4@rGO was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectrometer. The electrochemical properties of the material were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the capacitance can reach 1100 F/g at the current density of 0.5 A/g. Furthermore, the NiCo2S4@rGO as positive electrode and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as negative electrode were assembled into an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC). The device exhibits a high energy density of 74.78 Wh/Kg at a power density of 400 W/Kg, as well as excellent cycling stability of 88.9% after 3 000 cycles, which reflects the excellent electrochemical performance of the material.

In this study, to fabricate a non-binder electrode, we grew nickel–cobalt sulfide (NCS) nanotubes (NTs) on a Ni foam substrate using a hydrothermal method through a two-step approach, namely in situ growth and an anion-exchange reaction. This was followed by the electrodeposition of double-layered nickel-cobalt hydroxide (NCOH) over a nanotube-coated substrate to fabricate NCOH core-shell nanotubes. The final product is called NCS@NCOH herein. Structural and morphological analyses of the synthesized electrode materials were conducted via SEM and XRD. Different electrodeposition times were selected, including 10, 20, 40, and 80 s. The results indicate that the NCSNTs electrodeposited with NCOH nanosheets for 40 s have the highest specific capacitance (SC), cycling stability (2105 Fg−1 at a current density of 2 Ag−1), and capacitance retention (65.1% after 3,000 cycles), in comparison with those electrodeposited for 10, 20, and 80 s. Furthermore, for practical applications, a device with negative and positive electrodes made of active carbon and NCS@NCOH was fabricated, achieving a high-energy density of 23.73 Whkg−1 at a power density of 400 Wkg−1.
