Maintaining a high specific energy without losing cycling stability is the focus of the supercapacitor field. In this study, carbon nanofibers including europium oxide nanoparticles (CNF/EuO) have been synthesized in the presence of thiourea a simple approach and applied for the first time as an electrode for SCs. The CNF/EuO-1 electrode doped with nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms possessed a favorable specific capacitance of 183.

Glutaraldehyde prevented complete sulfur loss and allowed the formation of a mixed phase of nickel sulfide. The electrochemical performances of pure NiS, NiS@C0, NiS/NiS@C1, and NiS/NiS@C2 electrodes were tested by a series of measurements.

Fe3O4@His@Cu magnetic recyclable nanocatalyst (MRCs) was synthesized by reflux method using L-histidine as linker. The composition, structure and magnetic property of the product were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Powder XRD, FT-IR and EDAX results confirmed that the as-synthesized products has Fe3O4 with spinel structure and Cu nanoparticles with moderate crystallinity without any other impurities.
