Facile synthesis of Ni doped BiOBr nanosheets as efficient photo-assisted charging supercapacitors

Amornrat Khampunbut et al.

Summary: Enhanced visible light-driven pseudocapacitance response is achieved by synthesizing Ni-doped BiOBr nanosheets via a facile precipitation method. The doping of Ni atoms onto the BiOBr structure expands the light absorption range and improves photogenerated carrier separation efficiency. The Ni-BiOBr photoelectrode exhibits a significantly higher specific capacitance under UV light compared to dark conditions. Moreover, the Ni-BiOBr//reduced graphene oxide asymmetric supercapacitors demonstrate excellent energy density and capacitance retention under light irradiation.
