Two-step nitrogen and sulfur doping in porous carbon dodecahedra for Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors with long term stability

Ying Yang et al.

Summary: Aqueous Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs) have the potential to be highly efficient energy storage devices due to their high theoretical capacity, low cost, and intrinsic safety. However, the lack of efficient cathode materials for reversible insertion/extraction of Zn2+ ions has posed a significant challenge to achieving high cycling-stability ZHSCs. In this study, researchers developed a facile two-step doping strategy to synthesize N, S-codoped porous carbon dodecahedra (N, S-PCD) as a high-performance cathode material for ultralong-life aqueous ZHSC. The N, S-PCD cathode demonstrated a specific capacity of 133.4 mA h-1 (300.2 F g-1) at 0.2 A g(-1) and a maximum energy density of 106.7 W h kg(-1) at a power density of 160 W kg-1. Furthermore, the ZHSC showed an ultra-long cycle life, retaining 97.1% capacity after 100,000 charge-discharge cycles (approximately 3960 hours), which is the longest lifespan reported for ZHSCs to date. Mechanism studies revealed that the dual-doping of N and S enhanced the chemical adsorption of Zn2+ ions and improved electronic conductivity, synergistically enhancing the Zn-ion storage performance.
