Unambiguous simulation of diffusive charge transport in disordered nanoribbons

Charge transport in disordered two-dimensional (2D) systems showcases a myriad of unique phenomenologies that highlight different aspects of the underlying quantum dynamics. Electrons in such systems undergo a crossover from ballistic propagation to Anderson localization, contingent on the system’s effective coherence length. Between the extended and localized phases lies a diffusive crossover in which the charge conductivity is properly defined. The numerical observation of this regime has remained elusive because it requires fully coherent transport to be simulated in systems whose dimensions are sufficiently large to meaningfully split the mean-free path and localization length scales. To address this challenge, we employed a novel linear scaling time-resolved approach that enabled us to derive the dc-transport characteristics and observe the three expected 2D transport regimes — ballistic, diffusive, and localized.

Electrohydrodynamic flow about a colloidal particle suspended in a non-polar fluid

Nonlinear electrokinetic phenomena, where electrically driven fluid flows depend nonlinearly on the applied voltage, are commonly encountered in aqueous suspensions of colloidal particles. A prime example is the induced-charge electro-osmosis, driven by an electric field acting on diffuse charge induced near a polarizable surface. Nonlinear electrohydrodynamic flows also occur in non-polar fluids, driven by the electric field acting on space charge induced by conductivity gradients. Here, we analyse the flows about a charge-neutral spherical solid particle in an applied uniform electric field that arise from conductivity dependence on local field intensity. The flow pattern varies with particle conductivity: while the flow about a conducting particle has a quadrupolar pattern similar to induced-charge electro-osmosis, albeit with opposite direction, the flow about an insulating particle has a more complex structure. We find that this flow induces a force on a particle near an electrode that varies non-trivially with particle conductivity: while it is repulsive for perfectly insulating particles and particles more conductive than the suspending medium, there exists a range of particle conductivities where the force is attractive. The force decays as the inverse square of the distance to the electrode and thus can dominate the dielectrophoretic attraction due to the image dipole, which falls off with the fourth power with the distance. This electrohydrodynamic lift opens new possibilities for colloidal manipulation and driven assembly by electric fields.

Boosting Fill Factor of Semitransparent Donor‐Poor Organic Solar Cells for the Best Light Utilization Efficiency

AbstractReducing the content of light‐absorbing material in the active layer of semitransparent organic solar cells (ST‐OSCs) enhances the average visible transmittance (AVT) but sacrifices the power conversion efficiency (PCE). This dilemma is a key challenge to ST‐OSCs. Here trityl tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) borate (TrTPFB)‐doping of the polymer donor at a suboptimal donor:acceptor (D:A) ratio is reported as an approach to enhance the light utilization efficiency (LUE) via boosting the fill factor (FF). The suboptimal D:A ratio results in not only a less efficient hole transporting network but also a narrower charge photogeneration profile. The latter widens the flat‐band region. These deteriorations make charge diffusion a crucial factor for compensating charge collection. TrTPFB‐doping mainly helps elongate the charge diffusion length to alleviate severe bimolecular recombination. As a result, the FF boosts from 65.1% to 72.2% in the film AVT increased device, which is comparable to that of the bulk heterojunction device with the optimal D:A ratio. The best LUE of 3.51% is achieved in the TrTPFB‐doped ST‐OSCs based on a ternary material combination; moreover, an LUE of 5.18% is predicted after proper optical optimization. The ST‐OSC showcases a greenhouse rooftop, which outperforms the glass one for the wheat plant.

Corrosion Inhibition of PAAS/ZnO Complex Additive in Alkaline Al-Air Battery with SLM-Manufactured Anode

In order to improve the electrochemical activity and discharge performance of aluminum–air batteries and to reduce self-corrosion of the anode, an SLM-manufactured aluminum alloy was employed as the anode of the Al-air battery, and the influence of PAAS and ZnO inhibitors taken separately or together on the self-corrosion rate and discharge performance of the Al-air battery in a 4 M NaOH solution were investigated. The experimental result indicated that the effect of a composite corrosion inhibitor was stronger than that of a single corrosion inhibitor. The addition of the compound inhibitor not only promoted the activation of the anode but also formed a more stable composite protective film on the surface of the anode, which effectively slowed down the self-corrosion and improved the utilization rate of the anode. In NaOH/PAAS/ZnO electrolytes, the dissolution of the Al6061 alloy was mainly controlled by the diffusion of the electric charge in the corrosion products or the zinc salt deposition layer. Meanwhile, for the Al-air battery, the discharge voltage, specific capacity, and specific energy increased by 21.74%, 26.72%, and 54.20%, respectively. In addition, the inhibition mechanism of the composite corrosion inhibitor was also expounded. The excellent discharge performance was due to the addition of the composite corrosion inhibitor, which promoted the charge transfer of the anode reaction, improved the anode’s activity, and promoted the uniform corrosion of the anode. This study provides ideas for the application of aluminum–air batteries in the field of new energy.

Electrochemical template synthesis of hollow zinc oxide microtubes for photoelectrocatalytic water splitting: Effects of electrodeposition conditions and annealing temperature

In this paper, the problem of synthesizing hollow structures as a photoactive material for water electrolysis is addressed using the example of ZnO microtubes. In the study, a novel method of electrochemical template-assisted synthesis was applied to produce microtubes. The influence of zinc electrodeposition conditions (mode and electrolyte) and annealing on the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) properties of the electrode material was evaluated. Samples prepared from citrate and zincate electrolytes were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray mapping, X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photogalvanic response, voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The purpose of this paper was to demonstrate the advantages of using a citrate electrolyte over a classical zincate electrolyte for the electrochemical template method. It has been found that using citrate electrolyte allows for the production of ZnO microtubes that improve the PEC performance by 1.5–2 times. The effect of the synthesis conditions of the electrode material on the charge transfer resistance and diffusion limitations in the water splitting reaction is analyzed.

Effect of Synthesis Temperature on Performance of Phenazine-Based Cathode for Sodium Dual-Ion Batteries.

Organic materials have attracted much attention in the field of electrochemical energy storage due to their ecological sustainability, abundant resources and structural designability. However, low electrical conductivity and severe agglomeration of organic materials lead to poor discharge capacity and reaction kinetics in batteries. Herein, the morphology of the phenazine-based organic polymer poly(5,10-diphenylphenazine) (PDPPZ) was modified by varying the synthesis temperature. PDPPZ-165 °C with an exceptional porous structure provides abundant reaction channels for rapid charge transfer and diffusion that improves the reaction kinetics in sodium dual-ion batteries. Therefore, PDPPZ-165 °C cathode possesses excellent rapid charge-discharge capability delivering a specific capacity of 119.2 mAh g-1 at 40 C. Furthermore, a high specific capacity of 124.7 mAh g-1 can be provided even at a high loading of 16 mg cm-2 at 0.5 C with a capacity retention of 86.4 % after 500 cycles. This work could afford new insights for optimizing the performance of organic cathode materials in sodium dual-ion batteries.

Charge Diffusion and Repulsion in Semiconductor Detectors.

Semiconductor detectors for high-energy sensing (X/γ-rays) play a critical role in fields such as astronomy, particle physics, spectroscopy, medical imaging, and homeland security. The increasing need for precise detector characterization highlights the importance of developing advanced digital twins, which help optimize the design and performance of imaging systems. Current simulation frameworks primarily focus on modeling electron-hole pair dynamics within the semiconductor bulk after the photon absorption, leading to the current signals at the nearby electrodes. However, most simulations neglect charge diffusion and Coulomb repulsion, which spatially expand the charge cloud during propagation due to the high complexity they add to the physical models. Although these effects are relatively weak, their inclusion is essential for achieving a high-fidelity replication of real detector behavior. There are some existing methods that successfully incorporate these two phenomena with minimal computational cost, including those developed by Gatti in 1987 and by Benoit and Hamel in 2009. The present work evaluates these two approaches and proposes a novel Monte Carlo technique that offers higher accuracy in exchange for increased computational time. Our new method enables more realistic performance predictions while remaining within practical computational limits.

Metalloid Phosphorus Induces Tunable Defect Engineering in High Entropy Oxide Toward Advanced Lithium‐Ion Batteries

AbstractThe inferior electrical conductivity and sluggish lithium storage kinetics of conventional high‐entropy oxide (HEO) are critical issues hindering their commercialization. The high electronegativity of metalloids can ameliorate this predicament by altering the electronic configuration of HEO compared to metals. Herein, metalloid phosphorus doping in spinel‐type HEO (PxA1‐x)B2O4 (A/B = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) (P‐HEO) is achieved through a facile sol–gel process. The metalloid phosphorus doping facilitates the transfer of electrons from transition metal sites to phosphorus‐doped sites, resulting in the formation of electron‐rich and electron‐deficient local regions on the HEO surface and is conducive to an increase in the total number of active lithium sites in the electrochemical reaction process. Density functional theory calculation reveals Li adsorption energy on the synthesized P‐HEO is only −1.102 eV, demonstrating that the phosphorus doping enables a strong electronic coupling between lithium ions and P‐HEO. Furthermore, metalloid phosphorus doping also leads to oxygen vacancies formation and lattice distortion, which significantly enhances charge transfer efficiency and diffusion kinetics and results in the enhanced lithium storage performance with impressive rate capability and long‐term stability. These findings provide valuable insights for the design of lattice‐engineered HEO as versatile electrodes for future energy storage applications.

Pre-existing mobile Zn2+ ions in ZnZr4(PO4)6 for capacitive- and battery- type energy storage systems

Zinc-ion based energy storage systems with a pure intrinsic Zn2+ ion conductor, ZnZr4(PO4)6 (ZnZrP), and consisting of variable valence Zr sites, are fabricated for the first time. Zn2+ ions are loosely held within the voids of the Zr-phosphate framework enabling ionic conduction in the solid matrix. By combining with activated carbon (AC), the resulting ZnZrP-AC composite exhibits a high mixed ionic-electronic conductivity of 1.25 mS cm−1. Benefitting from the high conductivity, fast charge transfer and transport across the ZnZrP-AC cross-section are enabled through short diffusion pathways in the resulting hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) or Zn-ion battery (ZIB). The HSC (ZnZrP-AC/ZnCl2-γ-butyrolactone/Zn-AC) delivers a specific capacitance of 275F g−1, energy and power density maxima of 153 Wh kg−1 and 7.2 kW kg−1 and a cycling life of 10,000 cycles, with 87.2 % capacitance retention. In the ZIB configuration of ZnZrP-AC/Zn(CF3SO3)2-acetonitrile/Zn-AC, a capacity of 136 mAh/g (at 50 mA g−1), with capacity retention of 95 % after 100 cycles is achieved, with a mixed diffusive and surface-confined fast charge storage mechanism. The active materials remain largely intact after cycling confirming the durability of the cell architecture with potential for scale-up and practical applications.

Amorphous mesoporous sulfur-rich 1T/2H-MoS2 nanospheres as high-capacity cathode materials for advanced magnesium ion batteries

Two-dimensional layered-structure MoS2 has been explored as the promising cathode materials for magnesium ion batteries benefited by its wide layer distance and satisfactory capacity. However, such strong interaction between Mg2+ and MoS2 brings about the sluggish diffusion kinetics and irreversible electrochemical reaction, leading to a decreased specific capacity and poor rate capability. How to adopt its structure engineering and interface engineering to boost the Mg2+ diffusion kinetics and enhance the electrochemical reversibility of MoS2 is still a huge challenge. Herein, the amorphous sulfur-rich 1T/2H-MoS2 mesoporous nanospheres (a-MoS2+x, 0<x<1) have been developed via a facile one-pot hydrothermal route. Acted as a cathode material for magnesium ion batteries, owing to the cooperate effects of inherent rich active sites, high conductivity and wide layer distance induced by the coexistence of sulfur-rich, 1T phase and nearly amorphous features, the as-prepared a-MoS2+x demonstrates an ultra-high discharge capacity (438.7 mAh g−1 for 50 cycles at 0.1 A g−1), promising rate capability (97.6 mAh g−1 at 1.0 A g−1), and good cyclic stability (110 cycles at 0.5 A g−1), superior to the crystalline MoS2 (c-MoS2) and other previously reported MoS2 counterparts. Besides, the kinetics results indicate that the a-MoS2+x manifests good charge transfer and diffusion kinetics, and its entire charge storage is a combination of surface-controlled capacitance behavior and diffusion-controlled battery behavior. Moreover, some ex-situ Raman, XPS and HRTEM characterization techniques are employed to disclose the Mg2+ storage mechanism. Such remarkable magnesium storage properties of a-MoS2+x demonstrates its promising application as cathode for magnesium ion batteries.

Vertically stacked heterostructure in MoS2/rGO to accelerate ion diffusion kinetics for aqueous zinc ion batteries

The two-dimensional (2D) layered MoS2 is highly desirable as a host cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) due to the typical lamellar structure bonded with weak van der Waals interlayer forces. Nevertheless, sluggish kinetics of Zn2+ diffusion in MoS2 usually leads to inferior Zn2+ storage capability. Herein, a vertically stacked heterostructure of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and 1 T-2H phase mixed MoS2 (1 T-2H MoS2/rGO) is successfully realized through a bottom-up assembly method. The presence of graphene in the interlayer of MoS2 not only increases the interlayer spacing but also induces the phase transition of MoS2. The flower-like nanocomposite is featured with expanded interlayer spacing of 9.6 Å, abundant 1 T phase, and good hydrophilicity, which facilitate Zn2+ diffusion, charges transfer and electrolyte infiltration. Consequently, the 1 T-2H MoS2/rGO based AZIB achieves exceptional electrochemical performance: admirable specific capacity of 294.6 mAh g−1 at 0.2 A g−1, good rate capability (130.9 mAh g−1 at 4 A g−1), and excellent long-term stability (96.8 % capacity retention after 1600 cycles at 3 A g−1). Experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results reveal that the vertical-stacked structure of MoS2/rGO accelerates Zn2+ diffusion kinetics and charges transfer by reducing the ions migrate energy barrier and band gap. The multiple ex situ characterizations demonstrate that the Zn2+ insertion/extraction process is accompanied by highly reversible phase transition between 2H and 1 T MoS2. This bottom-up assembly strategy can be extended to design more 2D materials with vertically stacked heterostructure as cathodes for high-performance AZIBs.

Ultrafast Charge and Exciton Diffusion in Monolayer Films of 9-Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons.

Determining the electronic transport properties of graphene nanoribbons is crucial for assessing their suitability for applications. So far, this has been highly challenging both through experimental and theoretical approaches. This is particularly the case for graphene nanoribbons that are prepared by chemical vapor deposition, which is a scalable and industry-compatible bottom-up growth method that results in closely packed arrays of ribbons with relatively short lengths of a few tens of nanometers. In this study, the experimental technique of spatiotemporal microscopy is applied to study monolayer films of 9-armchair graphene nanoribbons prepared using this growth method, and combined with linear-scaling quantum transport calculations of arrays of thousands of nanoribbons. Both approaches directly resolve electronic spreading in space and time through diffusion and give an initial diffusivity approaching 200 cm2 s-1 during the first picosecond after photoexcitation. This corresponds to a mobility up to 550 cm2 V-1 s-1. The quasi-free carriers then form excitons, which spread with a diffusivity of tens of cm2 s-1. The results indicate that this relatively large charge carrier mobility is the result of electronic transport not being hindered by defects nor inter-ribbon hopping. This confirms their suitability for applications that require efficient electronictransport.

Enhancing Performance of Composite-Based Triboelectric Nanogenerators Through Laser Surface Patterning and Graphite Coating for Sustainable Energy Solutions

The performance of composite-based triboelectric nanogenerators (C–TENGs) was significantly enhanced through laser surface patterning and graphite coating. The laser etching process produced accurate and consistent patterns, increasing surface area and improving charge accumulation. SEM imagery confirmed the structural differences and enhanced surface properties of the laser-etched C–TENGs. Graphite fibers further augmented the contact surface area, enhancing charge accumulation and diffusion. Experimental results demonstrated that the optimized C–TENGs, especially those with line patterns and graphite coating, achieved a maximal 98.87 V open-circuit voltage (VOC) and a 0.10 µA/cm2 short-circuit current density (JSC) under a 20 N external force. Environmental tests revealed a slight decrease in performance with increased humidity, while long-term stability tests indicated consistent performance over three weeks. Practical application tests showed the potential of C–TENGs integrated into wearable devices, generating sufficient energy for low-power applications, thereby highlighting the promise of these devices for sustainable energy solutions.

Sodium polyacrylate hydrogel electrolyte: Flexible rechargeable supercapacitor using thermally reduced graphene oxide nanosheets

The alternative source of the gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is introduced by developing the sodium polyacrylate (S-PANa) solid hydrogel electrolyte, which is the front runner in the recent flexible and wearable electronic devices due to their excellent mechanical property, high ionic conductivity, and electrochemical stability. In this work, we synthesized the S-PANa solid hydrogel electrolyte and utilized it for the flexible symmetric supercapacitor using thermally reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (TRGO) coated on carbon cloth as an electrode. The prepared S-PANa hydrogel is of a highly porous nature and has better surface roughness, as examined by the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and 3D nano profiler analysis. The electrochemical characterization of the assembled flexible solid-state hydrogel supercapacitor (FSHSC) reveals the electric double-layer capacitive behavior with an excellent device capacitance of 45.77 mF/cm2. The significant role of diffusion charge re-distribution, overcharging issues, ohmic drop, and leakage current of the FSHSC is studied, followed by self-discharge and leakage current analysis. Moreover, the FSHSC device delivers the maximum energy density of 5.15 μWh/cm2 with a remarkable retention capacitance of 99 % over 10,000 continuous cycles. Further, in practical utilization, the solar-charged FSHSC device can effectively power the electronic LED for a long duration and enhance its efficiency for the development of a sustainable backup power system. Overall, these experimental results demonstrated the significant use of the S-PANa hydrogel-based flexible device, which can be an alternative source in future energy storage systems instead of using gel electrolyte-based flexible devices.

Navigating the Frontier Role of Electrolyte Interfaces in Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cell Technology

Recent advances in solar cell technology have been motivated by new materials and inventive engineering techniques. Dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are becoming more widely recognized as a possible alternative for sustainable energy. Optimizing electrolytes is one of the most important variables impacting their effectiveness and durability. The electrolyte interface is critical to optimize charge separation, ion transport, and diffusion ensuring device stability and efficiency. The present investigation focuses on enhancing interface stability and investigating innovative electrolyte compositions to improve DSSC performance for sustainability in solar energy applications. Despite progress, obstacles remain in presenting core principles and research approaches in DSSC technology. Continued research is required to overcome these limitations and fully realize the potential of DSSCs in sustainable energy solutions.

Dual Cocatalysts on Covalent Organic Framework as Charge Transfer Mediator Facilitating Photocatalytic Water Oxidation

AbstractCovalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been regarded as promising photocatalytic materials. However, the sluggish diffusion of photoinduced charges in a single‐component COF remains the obstacles that have to be overcome. Here, we demonstrate a synthesis of a COF bearing dual cocatalysts Co3O4 and Re complex as photocatalyst for water oxidation. The dual cocatalysts are coordinated on the COF, and enable the spatial separation of photoinduced charges. The generated electrons were attracted to Re moiety, while the holes were localized on Co3O4 cocatalyst for water oxidation to produce O2 product. The synergy of dual cocatalysts of COF promote the charge separation and redox reaction. Moreover, hydroxyl radicals generated from the hydration of COF contribute to O−O bond formation, which is the key step of O2 formation. Accordingly, an excellent O2 production rate of 400 μmol g−1 h−1 under visible light irradiation was obtained. This work may pave the way to the development of highly efficient COF photocatalysts for solar energy conversion.

Synergistic effect of ceramic filler in polymer salt complex for improved ion dissociation and migration mechanism

Abstract Use of Ceramic filler is one of the most common approaches to improve the conductivity and stability properties of a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) cum separator. Among them, active fillers like Garnet have been extensively used to enhance the stability and conductivity of SPE. However, SPE suffers from limited ion migration at room temperature acting as a bottleneck for their application in all solid-state batteries. An extensive study on these fillers' role in ion dissociation and migration can be a stepping stone for advanced SPE. In the present work, an FTIR analysis has primarily been used to identify and evaluate cation coordinate site-cation, and ion pair interactions in a Li6.5La3Zr1.75Te0.25O12 loaded polyethylene oxide-LiCF3SO3 matrix with varying ceramic concentrations. Further, the Trukhan model has been used to calculate diffusion coefficient, mobility, and charge carrier density to interpret relaxation parameters, conductivity, and FTIR results in the SPE samples. Finally, an ion migration model has been proposed based on the results obtained in experimental studies.&amp;#xD;

Charge transport in organic semiconductors from the mapping approach to surface hopping.

We describe how to simulate charge diffusion in organic semiconductors using a recently introduced mixed quantum-classical method, the mapping approach to surface hopping. In contrast to standard fewest-switches surface hopping, this method propagates the classical degrees of freedom deterministically on the most populated adiabatic electronic state. This correctly preserves the equilibrium distribution of a quantum charge coupled to classical phonons, allowing one to time-average along trajectories to improve the statistical convergence of the calculation. We illustrate the method with an application to a standard model for the charge transport in the direction of maximum mobility in crystalline rubrene. Because of its consistency with the equilibrium distribution, the present method gives a time-dependent diffusion coefficient that plateaus correctly to a long-time limiting value. The resulting mobility is somewhat higher than that of the relaxation time approximation, which uses a phenomenological relaxation parameter to obtain a non-zero diffusion coefficient from a calculation with static phonon disorder. However, it is very similar to the mobility obtained from Ehrenfest dynamics, at least in the parameter regimes we have investigated here. This is somewhat surprising because Ehrenfest dynamics overheats the electronic subsystem and is, therefore, inconsistent with the equilibrium distribution.

Optimizing charge transport simulation for hybrid pixel detectors

To enhance the spatial resolution of the MÖNCH 25 µm pitch hybrid pixel detector, deep learning models have been trained using both simulation and measurement data. Challenges arise when comparing simulation-based deep learning models to measurement-based models for electrons, as the spatial resolution achieved through simulations is notably inferior to that from measurements. Discrepancies are also observed when directly comparing X-ray simulations with measurements, particularly in the spectral output of single pixels. These observations collectively suggest that current simulations require optimization. To address this, the dynamics of charge carriers within the silicon sensor have been studied using Monte Carlo simulations, aiming to refine the charge transport modeling. The simulation encompasses the initial generation of the charge cloud, charge cloud drift, charge diffusion and repulsion, and electronic noise. The simulation results were validated with measurements from the MÖNCH detector for X-rays, and the agreement between measurements and simulations was significantly improved by accounting for the charge repulsion.

Novel design of nickel cobalt boride nanosheets-decorated molybdenum disulfide hollow spheres as efficient battery-type materials of hybrid supercapacitors

Transition metal borides (TMBs) with high theoretical capacitances and excellent electronic properties have attracted much attention as a promising active material of supercapacitors (SCs). However, TMB nanoparticles are prone to conduct self-aggregation, which significantly deteriorates the electrochemical performance and structural stability. To address the severe self-aggregation in TMBs and improve the active material utilization, it is imperative to provide a conductive substrate that promotes the dispersion of TMB during growths. In this work, sheet-like nickel cobalt boride (NCB) was grown on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) hollow spheres (H-MoS2) by using simple template growth and chemical reduction methods. The resultant NCB/H-MoS2-50 was observed with uniform NCB nanosheets structure on the surface of the H-MoS2 and stronger MB bonding. After optimizing the loading amount of H-MoS2, the optimal composite (NCB/H-MoS2-50) modified nickel foam (NF) exhibits a superior specific capacity (1302 C/g) than that of the NCB electrode (957 C/g) at 1 A/g. Excellent rate capability of 84.8% (1104 C/g at 40 A/g) is also achieved by the NCB/H-MoS2-50 electrode. The extraordinary electrochemical performance of NCB/H-MoS2-50 is credited to the unique nanosheet-covered hollow spheres structure for facilitating ion diffusion and versatile charge storage mechanisms from the pseudocapacitive behavior of H-MoS2 and the Faradaic redox behavior of NCB. Furthermore, a hybrid SC is assembled with NCB/H-MoS2-50 and activated carbon (AC) electrodes (NCB/H-MoS2-50//AC), which operates in a potential window up to 1.7 V and delivers a high energy density of 76.8 W h kg−1 at a power density of 850 W kg−1. A distinguished cycling stability of 93.2% over 20,000 cycles is also obtained for NCB/H-MoS2-50//AC. These findings disclose the significant potential of NCB/H-MoS2-50 as a highly performed battery-type material of SCs.
