High-Performance, Flexible, All-Solid-State Wire-Shaped Asymmetric Micro-Supercapacitors Based on Three Dimensional CoNi2S4 Nanosheets Decorated-Nanoporous Ni-Zn-P Film/Cu Wire

Demand increasing for next generation portable and miniaturized electronics has aroused much interest to explore microscale and lightweight energy storage devices. Herein, we demonstrate successful development of flexible wire-shaped microsupercapacitors (micro-SCs) based on novel CoNi2S4/E-NZP film@Cu wire electrode. The etched Ni-Zn-P (E-NZP) film was synthesized by directly deposition of NZP film on Cu wire, followed by a chemical etching process. Alkaline etching treatment provides a micro- and mesoporous structure with high surface area and facilitates the penetration of electrolyte ions into the electrode matrix. Then, CoNi2S4 nanosheets as electroactive material are electrochemically grown onto the E-NZP film@CW electrode under a constant potential. The synergistic effects contributed by various components inside the CoNi2S4/E-NZP@CW electrode deliver superior performances with a high specific capacitance of 1.12 F cm(-1), 8.9 F cm(-2), and 889.68 F cm(-3) at 4 mA cm(-2), outstanding rate capability (0.66 F cm(-1), 5.3 F cm(-2), and 529.02 F cm(-3) at 80 mA cm(-2)) and long-term cycling stability (93.4% capacitance retention after 7000 cycles).

Herein, we demonstrate successful development of flexible wire-shaped micro-supercapacitors (micro-SCs) based on novel CoNi2S4/E-NZP film@Cu wire electrode. The etched Ni-Zn-P (E-NZP) film was synthesized by directly deposition of NZP film on Cu wire, followed by a chemical etching process. Alkaline etching treatment provides a micro- and mesoporous structure with high CoNi2S4/E-NZP film pcw as the positive electrode and rGO-coated carbon fiber (rGO/CF) as the negative electrode. The fabricated device exhibits high length, areal and volumetric capacitances of C-L : 40 mu F cm(-1), C-A: 0.241 F cm(-2) and C-v: 18.54 F cm(-3), good mechanical stability with a maximum energy (E-L, 18 mu W h cm(-1); E-A, 108.4 mu W h cm(-2); and E-v, 8.34 mu W h cm(-3)), and power densities (P-L, 1454 mu W cm(-1); P-A, 9280 mu W cm(-2); and P-v, 716.9 mu W cm(-3)). This work provides a new and facile approach to develop high-performance wire-shaped electrodes as a new generation in energy storage applications.
