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.

AbstractFlexible energy devices with high energy density and long cycle life are considered to be promising applications in portable electronics. In this study, silicon/carbon nanofiber (Si@CNF) core–shell electrode has been prepared by the coaxial electrospinning method. The precursors of polyimide (PI) were for the first time used to form the core–shell structure of Si@CNF, which depicts outstanding flexibility and mechanical strength. The effect of doping concentrations of silicon (Si) nanoparticles embedded in the fiber is investigated as a binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries. A 15 wt% doped composite electrode demonstrates superior performance, with an initial reversible capacity of 621 mA h g−1 at the current density of 100 mA g−1 and a high capacity retention up to 200 cycles. The excellent cycling performance is mainly due to the carbonized PI core–shell structure, which not only can compensate for the insulation property of Si but also has the ability to buffer the volume expansion during the repeated charge–discharge process.

Polymer composites with high dielectric constant and thermal stability have shown great potential applications in the fields relating to the energy storage. Herein, core-shell structured polyimide@BaTiO3 (PI@BT) nanoparticles were fabricated via in-situ polymerization of poly(amic acid) (PAA) and the following thermal imidization, then utilized as fillers to prepare PI composites. Increased dielectric constant with suppressed dielectric loss, and enhanced energy density as well as heat resistance were simultaneously realized due to the presence of PI shell between BT nanoparticles and PI matrix. The dielectric constant of PI@BT/PI composites with 55 wt% fillers increased to 15.0 at 100 Hz, while the dielectric loss kept at low value of 0.0034, companied by a high energy density of 1.32 J·cm−3, which was 2.09 times higher than the pristine PI. Moreover, the temperature at 10 wt% weight loss reached 619°C, demonstrating the excellent thermostability of PI@BT/PI composites. In addition, PI@BT/PI composites exhibited improved breakdown strength and toughness as compared with the BT/PI composites due to the well dispersion of PI@BT nanofillers and the improved interfacial interactions between nanofillers and polymer matrix. These results provide useful information for the structural design of high-temperature dielectric materials.

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.
