To realize the practical supercapacitors, developing the cheap and highly capacitive electrode is the most essential. However, it is a harsh challenge to achieve this target based on single-component electrode. Herein, a series of inexpensive ternary-metal-sulfides, 2MnS/Cu₂S/<em>x</em>ZnS/C (<em>x</em> = 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3) are synthesized by hydrothermal reaction and the subsequent calcination with expired manganese/copper gluconates as the raw materials for the electrode in the pseudocapacitors. Furthermore, the effect of ZnS's content on the electrochemical properties of the ternary composites is also investigated. Specially, the optimal 2MnS/Cu₂S/xZnS/C(<em>x</em> = 1) can output a specific capacitance of 1608 F/g at 1 A/g in the three-electrode system, while the 2MnS/Cu₂S/xZnS/C||AC(<em>x</em> = 1) asymmetric supercapacitor can deliver a specific capacitance of 194 F/g at 1 A/g with the desirable energy density (800 W/kg) and power density (70.9 Wh/kg), higher than those of other samples.

The outstanding performances of the optimal 2MnS/Cu₂S/xZnS/C(<em>x</em> = 1) may be attributed to the bridge-effect of ZnS component, which makes up for the low conductivity of MnS component and the low capacitance of Cu₂S component, thus achieving the best synergistic effect of ternary metal sulfide 2MnS/Cu₂S/xZnS/C(<em>x</em> = 1) .</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Structure","volume":"1323 ","pages":"Article 140774"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142720080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complex was characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, including FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, TG-DTA, and conductivity measurements. X-ray crystallography confirmed the formation of the binuclear complex, revealing a dicationic unit with distorted octahedral geometry at the copper centers, bridged by two chloride ions. The coordination environment around each copper ion includes two nitrogen and two oxygen donors from the ligand, along with the bridging chlorides. Notably, the complex exhibits significant chromotropism, including solvatochromism, halochromism, ionochromism, and thermochromism, which are attributed to the Jahn-Teller effect and the flexible coordination environment around the copper centers.

The chemisorption of GGL via hydroxyl and carbonyl groups on the Al₁₂N₁₂ surface resulted in an enhanced the dipole moment and binding energy (E_bin) in the water phase compared to methanol and dichloromethane phases at the CAM-B3LYP method. This adsorption process resulted in slight shifts in the electronic structure of all the complexes. Adsorption analysis revealed that the hydroxyl group of GGL, unlike its carbonyl group, exhibits strong interactions with the B atom in Al₁₁BN₁₂, the Mg atom in Al₁₁MgN₁₂, and the Ga atom in Al₁₁GaN₁₂ fullerene-like cages. The Al₁₁MgN₁₂ and Al₁₁BN₁₂ fullerene-like cages exhibit weaker binding energies compared to Al₁₁GaN₁₂, resulting in shorter desorption times. This facilitates the delivery of GGL and increases its dipole moment, thereby enhancing its solubility. Additionally, GGL loaded onto Al₁₁MgN₁₂ increases hardness, electronegativity, and electrophilicity while decreasing softness, indicating enhanced stability and interaction capabilities. Moreover, Al₁₁MgN₁₂ exhibits high sensitivity to GGL molecules as a biosensor, owing to significant shifts in its energy gap compared to Al₁₁GaN₁₂ and Al₁₁BN₁₂ cages.
