Abstract
The development of stable, high-density electrode materials for use in advanced electrochemical energy storage systems is of utmost importance. This study presents a simple one-step chemical precipitation approach for the fabrication of Bi₂(Se₀.8S₀.₂)₃@C, a sulfur-modified bismuth selenide solid solution coupled with amorphous carbon. The presence of crystalline bismuth selenosulfide was verified through structural investigation. Morphological analysis revealed a network of nanosheets embedded within a carbon matrix, facilitating enhanced charge transfer and providing abundant electroactive sites. Electrochemical testing in a 3 M KOH electrolyte showed that the Bi₂(Se₀.₈S₀.₂)₃@C electrode achieved a specific capacitance of 950 F g⁻¹ at 1 A g⁻¹ and exhibited excellent cycling stability, retaining 98% of its capacitance after 5000 cycles with nearly 100% efficiency. An asymmetric supercapacitor device, using activated carbon as the negative electrode and Bi₂(Se₀.8S₀.₂)₃@C as the positive electrode, delivered a maximum energy density of 65 Wh kg⁻¹ at 877 W kg⁻¹ and 35 Wh kg⁻¹ at 3117 W kg⁻¹. Furthermore, after just 20 s of charging, two ASC coin cells connected in series were able to power multiple LEDs for approximately 10 min, demonstrating excellent power delivery and rapid energy storage capability. These results indicate that asymmetric supercapacitors based on sulfur-modified bismuth selenide–carbon composite electrodes can be highly effective. In addition, Bi₂(Se₀0.8 S₀.₂)₃@C shows enhanced photocatalytic performance with ~ 92% MB degradation, higher rate constant (0.0761 min⁻¹), and excellent stability over five cycles due to improved charge separation.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Materials is an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication
of high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to
establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials.
Porous materials include microporous materials with 50 nm pores.
Examples of microporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti
phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include synthetic molecular sieves, xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass
ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials
can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall
objective of the journal is the establishment of one main forum covering the basic and applied aspects of all porous materials.
