Abstract
This paper reports the synthesis of Co(OH)2 nanowires on a ZnS substrate with a multi-layer structure using a multi-step hydrothermal method. Co(OH)2 nanowires can increase the charge transfer rate and provide more electron storage space and reactive sites with the substrate of ZnS nanosheets. The results showed that at a current density of 1 A/g, the GCD charge-discharge curve of the ZnS@Co(OH)2 electrode reached 2305 s, with a specific capacitance of 1063 F/g. The supercapacitor assembled demonstrated an energy density of 52.92 Wh/kg at a power density of 980 W/kg, maintaining 83.3 % of its capacity after 6000 charge-discharge cycles. At an overpotential of 219.2 mV, the HER current density reached 50 mA/cm2. Additionally, the ZnS@Co(OH)2 electrode remained stable after 12 h of hydrogen evolution reaction, showing promise as a material for both energy storage and electrocatalytic hydrogen production systems.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
