Abstract

A bimetallic sulfide electrode Ni₃Sb₂S₃ was fabricated by using a single-source precursor approach to reveal its supercapacitive efficiency. A narrow bandgap of 1.8 eV and average crystallite size of 40 nm were obtained. The presence of metal sulfide bonds was indicated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. A nonuniform nanorod morphology was revealed in this bimetallic chalcogenide. The electrochemical charge storage behavior was tested in this study. According to cyclic voltammetry results, the generated electrode revealed excellent charge storage abilities, with a specific capacitance of 2773.074 F g⁻¹. This implies that the electrode has strong potential for storing energy. Additionally, electrochemical impedance studies revealed a series resistance of R_s = 2.5 Ω. The electrocatalytic performance of the electrode revealed an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential of 306 mV coupled with a Tafel slope of 145 mV dec⁻¹. Conversely, its hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity exhibited an overpotential of 132 mV with a corresponding Tafel slope of 43 mV dec⁻¹ and supported favorable electrochemical activity.

用于超级电容器储能和催化的双金属硫化物电极材料Ni3:Sb2S3

采用单源前驱体法制备了双金属硫化物电极Ni3Sb2S3，研究了其超电容效率。获得了1.8 eV的窄带隙和40 nm的平均晶粒尺寸。傅里叶红外光谱（FTIR）显示了金属硫化物键的存在。在这种双金属硫族化物中发现了不均匀的纳米棒形态。在本研究中测试了电化学电荷存储行为。循环伏安法结果表明，所制备的电极具有良好的电荷存储能力，比电容为2773.074 F g−1。这意味着电极具有很强的储存能量的潜力。此外，电化学阻抗研究表明，串联电阻Rs = 2.5 Ω。电催化性能表明，该电极的析氧反应（OER）过电位为306 mV， Tafel斜率为145 mV dec−1。相反，其析氢反应（HER）活性表现出132 mV的过电位，相应的Tafel斜率为43 mV dec−1，支持良好的电化学活性。图形抽象

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.
