A hierarchical core-shell structured NiCoP@NiS nanoarrays have been successfully synthesized and exhibited excellent specific capacitance and long cycle life. This study demonstrates the great prospects of such nanoarrays as a novel electrode material in energy storage.
High-performance supercapacitors have attracted considerable interests due to their high-power density, fast charge/discharge process and long cycle life. However, the wide application of supercapacitors is limited by their low energy density. Herein, the hierarchical core-shell structured NiCoP@NiS nanoarrays have been successfully synthesized by using the vertically grown nickel-cobalt bimetallic phosphide (NiCoP) nanowire as the core and the nickel sulfide (NiS) by electrodeposition as the shell. As the super channel for electron transfer, the NiCoP core is coupled with the NiS shell to promote rapid diffusion of electrons and improve cycle stability of the electrode. Consequently, the optimized NiCoP@NiS nanoar-rays display an extremely good specific capacitance (2128F g(-1 )at 1 A g(-1)) and a superior long cycle life (the capacitance retention of 90.36 % after 10,000 cycles). A hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) has been assembled using the NiCoP@NiS as the positive and the activated carbon (AC) as the negative, which displays a superior energy density of 30.47 Wh kg(-1 a)t a remarkable power energy of 800 W kg(-1). This study shows that the prepared hierarchical core-shell structured nanoarrays have great prospects as a novel electrode material in energy storage. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
