Abstract
In this study, zinc tungstate (ZnWO4), nickel hydroxide (NiH), and their nanocomposites at different ratios (ZnWO4/NiH = 1:1, 2:1, and 1:2) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and evaluated as an electrochemical energy storage electrode material. The successful preparation of pristine and composite materials was confirmed by x-ray diffraction, revealing that the ZnWO4/NiH (1:2) composite possessed the smallest crystallite size of 14.8 nm. The ZnWO4/NiH (1:2) composite showed ZnWO4 nanorods present over the NiH nanosheets. Electrochemical analysis by a three-electrode system indicated specific capacity of 671.4 C/g for the ZnWO4/NiH (1:2) at a current density of 1 A/g. The charge storage behavior indicated that the electrochemical reaction was primarily diffusion-controlled. The designed ZnWO4/NiH (1:2) prototype device yielded specific capacity of 696 C/g, power density of 9955.6 W/kg, and energy density of 61.9 Wh/kg, with 70% cyclic stability and 98% coulombic efficiency for 5000 galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) cycles.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM) reports monthly on the science and technology of electronic materials, while examining new applications for semiconductors, magnetic alloys, dielectrics, nanoscale materials, and photonic materials. The journal welcomes articles on methods for preparing and evaluating the chemical, physical, electronic, and optical properties of these materials. Specific areas of interest are materials for state-of-the-art transistors, nanotechnology, electronic packaging, detectors, emitters, metallization, superconductivity, and energy applications.
Review papers on current topics enable individuals in the field of electronics to keep abreast of activities in areas peripheral to their own. JEM also selects papers from conferences such as the Electronic Materials Conference, the U.S. Workshop on the Physics and Chemistry of II-VI Materials, and the International Conference on Thermoelectrics. It benefits both specialists and non-specialists in the electronic materials field.
A journal of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
