Abstract
Graphene-oxide (GO) based composites exhibit promising energy storage properties like adaptable porosity, chemical stability, excellent conductivity, and exceptional ability to charge storage processes. However, the inherent rigid structure of GO limits its use for modern flexible and disposable energy storage devices. This study presents the fabrication of Graphene oxide/tin sulfide-based flexible composites by employing natural fibers (as a binder) extracted from wasted bioresources (banana peels). GO and tin sulfide (SnS) nanoparticles are synthesized by a facile and fast microwave-assisted approach. Furthermore, SnS nanoparticles are deposited electrochemically on fabricated GO-based paper electrodes to enhance their electronic conductivity and energy storage characteristics. Highly flexible paper-based electrodes are characterized by different characterization techniques, i.e., scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and RAMAN spectroscopy to observe their morphology and chemical bonding. Electrochemical measurements, including Cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), are performed to observe the kinetics and capacitive behavior of the electrodes. LC/GO/SnS 2400 s exhibit specific capacitance of 68.78 F/g at which is greater than GO/LC (30.97 F/g). Prepared tertiary composite (GO/LC/SnS) depicts excellent charge-discharge behavior. LC/GO/SnS 2400 s reveals power density of 84.6 W/kg at 4.57 Wh/kg and also show specific capacitance of 55.4 F/g. Superior electrochemical characteristics are indicated by the GO/LC/SnS (2400 s) electrode and lower Rs (0.89Ω) and Rct(1.7Ω) values as compared to the binary composite (GO/LC). These composites provide a deep insight into the construction of electrodes with high ionic/electronic conductivity for fast-charging energy storage devices.
期刊介绍:
While ceramics have traditionally been admired for their mechanical, chemical and thermal stability, their unique electrical, optical and magnetic properties have become of increasing importance in many key technologies including communications, energy conversion and storage, electronics and automation. Electroceramics benefit greatly from their versatility in properties including:
-insulating to metallic and fast ion conductivity
-piezo-, ferro-, and pyro-electricity
-electro- and nonlinear optical properties
-feromagnetism.
When combined with thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability, these properties often render them the materials of choice.
The Journal of Electroceramics is dedicated to providing a forum of discussion cutting across issues in electrical, optical, and magnetic ceramics. Driven by the need for miniaturization, cost, and enhanced functionality, the field of electroceramics is growing rapidly in many new directions. The Journal encourages discussions of resultant trends concerning silicon-electroceramic integration, nanotechnology, ceramic-polymer composites, grain boundary and defect engineering, etc.
