Plate-like NiCo2O4 integrated with g-C3N4 nanostructures for hybrid supercapacitors and green energy technologies
The development of nanostructured electrode materials for supercapacitors and green energy applications remains a challenging task, particularly in achieving maximum surface area for optimal electrode-electrolyte interaction. In this study, we synthesize interconnected nanostructured NiCo2O4/g-C3N4 using a cost-effective hydrothermal method. The NiCo2O4/g-C3N4 nanocomposite undergoes comprehensive characterization to analyze its structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties using various techniques. Electrodes fabricated from the NiCo2O4/g-C3N4 material exhibit a high specific capacity (Qs) of 203 C/g. Additionally, the as-fabricated asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) achieves a remarkable energy density (Ed) of 87.3 Wh/kg and a power density (Pd) of 1038 W/kg at 1.4 A/g, with superior cycling performance, retaining 95.04 % of its capacity after 10,000 cycles. Furthermore, we evaluate the modified NiCo2O4/g-C3N4 electrodes for their electrocatalytic performance in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The results indicate that the NiCo2O4/g-C3N4 electrode exhibits the best OER performance (overpotential (η) = 287 mV and Tafel slope = 121 mV/dec at 10 mA/cm2) and demonstrates excellent HER activity (η = 336 mV and Tafel slope = 93 mV/dec at −10 mA/cm2) with exceptional cyclic stability. This research highlights the potential of NiCo2O4/g-C3N4 as a promising material for supercapacitor and green energy technology.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Solid State Chemistry offers critical reviews and specialized articles written by leading experts in the field, providing a comprehensive view of solid-state chemistry. It addresses the challenge of dispersed literature by offering up-to-date assessments of research progress and recent developments. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between physical properties and structural chemistry, particularly imperfections like vacancies and dislocations. The reviews published in Progress in Solid State Chemistry emphasize critical evaluation of the field, along with indications of current problems and future directions. Papers are not intended to be bibliographic in nature but rather to inform a broad range of readers in an inherently multidisciplinary field by providing expert treatises oriented both towards specialists in different areas of the solid state and towards nonspecialists. The authorship is international, and the subject matter will be of interest to chemists, materials scientists, physicists, metallurgists, crystallographers, ceramists, and engineers interested in the solid state.
