Hierarchical NiCo2S4 Nanotube@NiCo2S4 Nanosheet Arrays on Ni Foam for High‐Performance Supercapacitors

Hierarchical NiCo₂S₄ nanotube@NiCo₂S₄ nanosheet arrays on Ni foam have been successfully synthesized. Owing to the unique hierarchical structure, enhanced capacitive performance can be attained. A specific capacitance up to 4.38 F cm^?2 is attained at 5 mA cm^?2, which is much higher than the specific capacitance values of NiCo₂O₄ nanosheet arrays, NiCo₂S₄ nanosheet arrays and NiCo₂S₄ nanotube arrays on Ni foam. The hierarchical NiCo₂S₄ nanostructure shows superior cycling stability; after 5000 cycles, the specific capacitance still maintains 3.5 F cm^?2. In addition, through the morphology and crystal structure measurement after cycling stability test, it is found that the NiCo₂S₄ electroactive materials are gradually corroded; however, the NiCo₂S₄ phase can still be well‐maintained. Our results show that hierarchical NiCo₂S₄ nanostructures are suitable electroactive materials for high performance supercapacitors.     

Influence of the texture and acid-base properties of the alumina-containing support on the formation of Co(Ni)-Mo catalysts for deep hydrodesulfurization of the diesel fraction

The influence of the texture of γ-Al₂O₃ on the formation of Co(Ni)-Mo catalysts for hydrodesulfurization of the diesel fraction is studied. As shown by low-temperature N₂ adsorption, X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy of adsorbed molecules, and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM), use of a support with a larger specific surface and a lower total concentration of terminal OH groups makes it possible to prepare more active catalysts. The electron density radial distribution method shows that the finely dispersed cobaltcontaining catalyst in its initial state contains CoMoO₄, Al₂(MoO₄)₃, and CoAl₂O₄, the last two phases being present in trace amounts. After the reaction, this catalyst contains cobalt-doped molybdenum sulfide. According to HREM data, the active phase of the cobalt-containing catalyst consists of layered sulfide association species Co_1.3Mo₂S_3.3, which differ in composition from the bulk phase CoMo₂S₄. It is assumed that, out of the 1.3 cobalt atoms in Co_1.3Mo₂S_3.3 0.3 Co occurs at the edges of the association species and 1.0 Co is intercalated into their interlayer space, and 0.7 S at the boundary between the association species and the Al₂O₃ phase is replaced by the corresponding amount of oxygen.     

A high mass loading electrode based on ultrathin Co<Subscript>3</Subscript>S<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanosheets for high performance supercapacitor

There is a growing need for the electrode with high mass loading of active materials, where both high energy and high power densities are required, in current and near-future applications of supercapacitor. Here, an ultrathin Co₃S₄ nanosheet decorated electrode (denoted as Co₃S₄/NF) with mass loading of 6 mg cm^?2 is successfully fabricated by using highly dispersive Co₃O₄ nanowires on Ni foam (NF) as template. The nanosheets contained lots of about 3～5 nm micropores benefiting for the electrochemical reaction and assembled into a three-dimensional, honeycomb-like network with 0.5～1 μm mesopore structure for promoting specific surface area of electrode. The improved electrochemical performance was achieved, including an excellent cycliability of 10,000 cycles at 10 A g^?1 and large specific capacitances of 2415 and 1152 F g^?1 at 1 and 20 A g^?1, respectively. Impressively, the asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with the activated carbon (AC) and Co₃S₄/NF electrode exhibits a high energy density of 79 Wh kg^?1 at a power density of 151 W kg^?1, a high power density of 3000 W kg^?1 at energy density of 30 Wh kg^?1 and 73 % retention of the initial capacitance after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles at 2 A g^?1. More importantly, the formation process of the ultrathin Co₃S₄ nanosheets upon reaction time is investigated, which is benefited from the gradual infiltration of sulfide ions and the template function of ultrafine Co₃O₄ nanowires in the anion-exchange reaction.
