Abstract
Bimetallic selenide compounds show great potential as supercapacitor electrode materials in energy storage and conversion applications. In this work, a coral-like MnCo selenide was grown on nickel foam using a facile electrodeposition method to prepare binder-free supercapacitor electrodes. The heating temperature was varied to tune the morphology and crystal phase of these electrodes. Excellent electrochemical performance was achieved due to the unique coral-like, dendritic- dispersed structure and a bimetallic synergistic effect, including high specific capacitance (509 C g-1 at 1 A g-1) and outstanding cycling stability (94.3% capacity retention after 5000 cycles). Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with MnCo selenide as the anode and active carbon as the cathode achieved a high specific energy of 46.2 Wh kg-1 at 800 W kg-1. The work demonstrates that the prepared coral-like MnCo selenide is a highly promising energy storage material.
