Ni(OH)2 作为超级电容器的电极材料很有前途,因为它具有优越的理论比电容,但其较差的循环稳定性仍然是一个障碍。本文,荆楚理工学院Liangzhe Chen等研究人员在《Journal of Power Sources》期刊发表名为“Rational design of hierarchical reduced graphene oxide/Ni(OH)2 heterojunction with long cycle life for high-performance hybrid supercapacitors”的论文,研究通过一种简便的静电自组装途径构建了还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)/Ni(OH)2 异质结,其中 Ni(OH)2 纳米片种植在 rGO 基底表面,从而增加了比表面积并加速了电子/离子传输,同时继承了 rGO 出色的循环稳定性。最佳的rGO/Ni(OH)2 电极在 2 A/g 时的比电容高达 2251.6 F/g,5000次循环后的循环稳定性高达104.9%。rGO/Ni(OH)2//活性炭混合超级电容器(HSC)在 775 W/kg 的条件下实现了 35.4 Wh/kg的出色能量密度,在 10,000 次循环后的循环耐久性达98.8%。此外,两个串联的HSC还能点亮27个并联的红色LED,持续时间超过210秒,展示了超级电容器的巨大应用前景。

3小结

通过合理的策略,从三维纳米球构建了分层 rGO/Ni(OH)2 异质结。通过简便的静电自组装和动态回流路线,α-Ni(OH)2纳米片生长在石墨烯基底上。在rGO上构建 Ni(OH)₂ 增强了比表面积(163.9 m2/g),加速了电子/离子传输,并继承了rGO出色的循环稳定性。因此,优化后的 rGO/Ni(OH)2电极在 2A/g条件下具有 2251.6F/g 的高比电容,在20A/g条件下,5000次循环后的循环稳定性高达 104.9%。经验证,电化学反应同时表现出电容控制和扩散控制行为。此外,在0-1.55V的工作电压下,rGO/Ni(OH)2//AC HSC 在 1A/g时具有104.5F/g的高比电容,在 775 W/kg 时具有 35.4 Wh/kg 的最大能量密度,在10A/g时经过 10,000 次循环后电容保持率达 98.8%。总之,这项研究为构建高性能分层 rGO/Ni(OH)2 异质结提供了合理的策略,为制备未来储能材料的新型复合材料铺平了道路。
