Abstract

Herein, a Cu(OH)2/Ni3S2 composite was successfully prepared through facile two-step electrodeposition. As the electrode substrate and the only copper source, the copper foam underwent surface oxidation by galvanostatic deposition technology to form Cu(OH)2, and the subsequent coverage of Ni3S2 was achieved by potentiostatic deposition. The Cu(OH)2 acts as a skeleton, providing support for Ni3S2 growth, thus providing more abundant electrochemical active sites. By virtue of the in situ growth strategy and the synergy of different components, the optimized Cu(OH)2/Ni3S2 electrode illustrates significantly enhanced pseudocapacitance performance, with an areal specific capacitance of 11.43 F cm−2 at 2 mA cm−2, good coulombic efficiency of 94.55%, and remarkable cyclic stability (83.33% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles).
