Abstract
New generation of electrochemical energy storage devices (EESD) such as supercapattery is being intensively studied as it merges the ideal energy density of batteries and optimal power density of supercapacitors in a single device. A multitude of parameters such as the method of electrodes preparation can affect the performance of supercapattery. In this research, nickel doped tin sulfide /tin oxide (SnS@Ni/SnO2) heterostructures were grown directly on the Ni foam and subjected to different calcination temperatures to study their effect on formation, properties, and electrochemical performance through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and electrochemical tests. The optimized SnS@Ni/SnO2 electrode achieved a maximum specific capacity of 319 C g− 1 while activated carbon based capacitive electrode exhibited maximum specific capacitance of 381.19 Fg− 1. Besides, capacitive electrodes for the supercapattery were optimized by incorporating different conductive materials such as acetylene black (AB), carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene (GR). Assembling these optimized electrodes with the aid of charge balancing equation, the assembled supercapattery was able to achieve outstanding maximum energy density and power density of 36.04 Wh kg− 1 and 12.48 kW kg− 1 with capacity retention of 91% over 4,000 charge/discharge cycles.
