In this work, NiCoS nanoparticles for supercapacitors are successfully synthesized with a top-down strategy, using a novel dealloying method with an ion exchange reaction. The surface morphology and x-ray diffraction investigations demonstrated that NiCoS nanoparticles are interconnected by ligaments of the synthesized sample. The dealloyed NiCoS shows an enhanced electrochemical performance of about 1132.5 F g at 0.5 A g; kinetic analysis implies a surface-controlled contribution from NiCoS (53.86% capacitive contributions). Notably, the NiCoS//AC (active carbon) device displays a comparatively high energy density (22.83 Wh kg), maximum power density (1327.1 W kg) and superior cycling performance (capacitance retention of 108% after 30 000 cycles).

Transition metal sulfides have been widely explored as electrode materials for supercapacitors. Unfortunately, the slow redox reaction kinetics and severe volume changes during charge/discharge result in compromised electrochemical performance. In this work, a nickel-cobalt sulfide hollow nanosheet array decorated with cerium oxide nanoparticles (NiCoS/CeO) has been constructed using a cobalt zeolitic imidazolate framework-L as the template coupled with subsequent solvothermal synthesis.

To meet the crucial demand for high-performance supercapacitors, much effort has been devoted to exploring electrode materials with nanostructures and electroactive chemical compositions. Herein, iron carbide nanoparticles are encapsulated into carbon nanofibers (FeC@CNF-650) through electrospinning and annealing methods. Nickel-cobalt sulfide nanoparticles are hydrothermally grown on electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNF@NiCoS-650).

Both poor electron conductivity and low ion diffusion of electrode materials are two main issues limiting the rate performance of pseudocapacitors. The present work reports the design and fabrication of hierarchically nano-architectured electrodes consisting of sulfide vacancies enhanced Ni-Co-S nanoparticle covering bent nickel nano-forest (BNNF). We propose new insight into vastly increased ion-accessible active sites and fast charge storage/delivery enhanced the reaction kinetics.

The development of bimetallic transition-metal sulfide and nitrogen-doped carbon composites with unique hollow structure is highly desirable for energy storage applications but is also challenging. In the present work, we demonstrate a facile metal-organic framework engaged strategy for synthesizing bimetallic nickel cobalt sulfide and nitrogen-doped carbon composites with hollow spherical structure (denoted as hollow Ni-Co-S- n/NC composites) and a Ni/Co molar ratio ( n value) that can be easily controlled. When evaluated as electrode materials for both supercapacitors and lithium ion batteries, it is found that the hollow Ni-Co-S-0.

We design a facile approach to prepare a bimetallic transition-metal-sulphide-based 3D hierarchically-ordered porous electrode based on bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (Ni-Co-MOFs) by using confinement growth and in-situ sulphurisation techniques. In the novel resulting architectures, Ni-Co-S nanoparticles are confined in bowknot-like and flower-like carbon networks and are mechanically isolated but electronically well-connected, where the carbon networks with a honeycomb-like feature facilitate electron transfer with uninterrupted conductive channels from all sides. Moreover, these hierarchically-ordered porous structures together with internal voids can accommodate the volume expansion of the embedded Ni-Co-S nanoparticles.
