A novel symmetric supercapacitor electrode material, rGO-SnO2-polyaniline nanocomposite,was synthesized using graphite oxide, SnCl2.2H2O, and pure Aniline as precursors in a scalable and straightforward one-pot process. Analysis revealed that the rGO-SnO2-polyaniline composite had been successfully synthesized. When the two-electrode supercapacitor was assembled using 1M H2SO4, it showed an outstanding specific gravimetric capacitance of 524.2 F/g at a 5 mV/s scan rate. To the best of our knowledge, such a higher value for a two-electrode specific capacitance for a supercapacitor was never reported.Furthermore, even at a high current density of 1 A/g, the material disclosed an outstanding charge-discharge characteristic. Thus, the rGO-SnO2-polyaniline nanocomposite couldalso be used as an electrode for commercial supercapacitors.

Hierarchical micro-mesoporous carbon (denoted as HPC-2 in this study) was synthesized by pre-carbonization of biomass Sichuan pepper followed by KOH activation. It possessed well-developed porosity with the specific surface area of 1823.1 m2 g−1 and pore volume of 0.906 cm3 g−1, and exhibited impressive supercapacitive behaviors. For example, the largest specific capacitance of HPC-2 was tested to be ca. 171 F g−1 in a three-electrode setup with outstanding rate capability and stable electrochemical property, whose capacitance retention was near 100% after cycling at rather a high current density of 40 A g−1 for up to 10,000 cycles. Furthermore, a two-electrode symmetric supercapacitor cell of HPC-2//HPC-2 was constructed, which delivered the maximum specific capacitance and energy density of ca. 30 F g−1 and 4.2 Wh kg−1, respectively, had prominent rate performance and cycling stability with negligible capacitance decay after repetitive charge/discharge at a high current density of 10 A g−1 for over 10,000 cycles. Such electrochemical properties of HPC-2 in both three- and two-electrode systems are superior or comparable to those of a great number of porous biomass carbon reported previously, hence making it a promising candidate for the development of high-performance energy storage devices.

Porous graphene has been easily synthesized by hydrothermal treating reduced graphene oxide in alkaline solution, and the porous structure was confirmed by transmission electron microscope. When used as supercapacitor electrode, porous graphene holds a specific capacitance of 88 F g-1 at an ultra-high current density of 50 A g-1, an increase of about 83% compared with that for the pristine graphene sheets. The results demonstrate that porous graphene opens a new and short way for ion transportation. Furthermore our findings provide a novel strategy to fabricate porous graphene and the process is simple, low-cost and environmentally friendly.

A two-step procedure is used to create a novel ternary composite NiCo2O4 hexagonalnanoplatesarray/ reducedgrapheneoxide/poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrene-sulfonate) (NiCo2O4-rGO/PEDOT:PSS). It was tested to see if it might be used in super capacitor electrode materials. According to electrochemical testing, the NiCo2O4-rGO-PEDOT. PSS materials has a great exact capacitance of 1115 Fg.1 on a current compactness of 2 Ag-1, decent rate ability, and excellent cycle stability, with capacitance retention of 88 percent after 10000 cycles. As a consequence, this ternary composite may find use in a variety of energy storage electrodes.

Tungsten sulfide (WS2) and tungsten carbide (W2C) are materialized as the auspicious candidates for various electrochemical applications, owing to their plentiful active edge sites and better conductivity. In this work, the integration of W2C and WS2 was performed by using a simple chemical reaction to form W2C/WS2 hybrid as a proficient electrode for hydrogen evolution and supercapacitors. For the first time, a W2C/WS2 hybrid was engaged as a supercapacitor electrode and explored an incredible specific capacitance of ~1018 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 with the outstanding robustness. Furthermore, the constructed symmetric supercapacitor using W2C/WS2 possessed an energy density of 45.5 Wh kg−1 at 0.5 kW kg−1 power density. For hydrogen evolution, the W2C/WS2 hybrid produced the low overpotentials of 133 and 105 mV at 10 mA cm−2 with the small Tafel slopes of 70 and 84 mV dec−1 in acidic and alkaline media, respectively, proving their outstanding interfaced electrocatalytic characteristics. The engineered W2C/WS2-based electrode offered the high-performance for electrochemical energy applications.
