Abstract
Photo-assisted capacitors are attractive devices for solar energy conversion and storage, while the behavior of photoelectrodes limits their performance. In this work, MoS2 photoelectrodes were modified by g-C3N4, exhibiting enhanced photo-rechargeable properties. Our results show that the introduction of g-C3N4 increases the surface area of MoS2 photoelectrodes and promotes the transport of charge carriers, which can boost the specific capacity and cycle stability of capacitors. The as-prepared zinc-ion capacitors with g-C3N4/MoS2 photoelectrodes show a specific capacity of 380.93 F/g at 1 A/g under AM 1.5 G illumination. Remarkably, after 3000 cycles at 10 A/g, the capacity of the photo-assisted zinc-ion capacitor retains above 99%.
期刊介绍:
Science China Materials (SCM) is a globally peer-reviewed journal that covers all facets of materials science. It is supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and co-sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The journal is jointly published monthly in both printed and electronic forms by Science China Press and Springer. The aim of SCM is to encourage communication of high-quality, innovative research results at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering. It focuses on breakthroughs from around the world and aims to become a world-leading academic journal for materials science.
