Abstract
A NiCo2S4/N-CDs/RGO ternary composite hydrogel was prepared via a one-step hydrothermal method, utilizing lignin-based nitrogen-doped carbon dots as a bridge connecting NiCo2S4 and graphene. The specific capacitance of NiCo2S4/N-CDs/RGO significantly outperforms that of the GH and NiCo2S4/RGO electrodes, achieving 1050 F g-1. The 3D mesh porous hydrogel structure mitigates NiCo2S4 nanoparticle aggregation, providing a larger specific surface area for enhanced charge storage. The abundant functional groups of N-CDs interact with Ni (II) and Co (III) cations, favoring NiCo2S4 particle synthesis. Additionally, an assembled solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor employing NiCo2S4/N-CDs/RGO as the positive electrode exhibited excellent energy density (68.4 Wh kg-1) and cycle stability (82% capacitance retention after 10,000 constant current charge-discharge cycles).
