Currently, the fast growth and advancement in technologies demands promising supercapacitors, which urgently require a distinctive electrode material with unique structures and excellent electrochemical properties. Herein, binder-free manganese iron sulfide (Mn-Fe-S) nanostructures were deposited directly onto Ni-foam through a facile one-step electrodeposition route in potentiodynamic mode. The deposition cycles were varied to investigate the effect of surface morphologies on Mn-Fe-S. The optimized deposition cycles result in a fragmented porous nanofibrous structure, which was confirmed using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the presence of Mn, Fe, and S elements. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and elemental mapping revealed a good distribution of Mn, Fe, and S elements across the Ni-foam. The electrochemical performance confirms a high areal capacitance of 795.7 mF cm with a 24 μWh cm energy density calculated at a 2 mA cm current density for porous fragmented nanofiber Mn-Fe-S electrodes. The enhancement in capacitance is due to diffusive-controlled behavior dominating the capacitator, as shown by the charge-storage kinetics. Moreover, the assembled asymmetric coin cell device exhibited superior electrochemical performance with an acceptable cyclic performance of 78.7% for up to 95,000 consecutive cycles.

The influential position of multinational corporations in the global economy of the twenty-first century is a particularly controversial and timely subject. This paper aims to improve our understanding of this phenomenon by focusing on one particular aspect of it: corporate power. To this end, it first puts forth a number of conceptual clarifications that help to distinguish different kinds of power and the distinct analytical levels at which power is executed.

Secondary non-aqueous magnesium-based batteries are a promising candidate for post-lithium-ion battery technologies. However, the uneven Mg plating behavior at the negative electrode leads to high overpotential and short cycle life. Here, to circumvent these issues, we report the preparation of a magnesium/black phosphorus (Mg@BP) composite and its use as a negative electrode for non-aqueous magnesium-based batteries.

Zinc trifluorosulfonate [Zn(OTf)] is considered as the most suitable zinc salt for aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) but cannot support the long-term cycling of the Zn anode. Here, we reveal the micelle-like structure of the Zn(OTf) electrolyte and reunderstand the failing mechanism of the Zn anode. Since the solvated Zn possesses a positive charge, it can spontaneously attract OTf with the hydrophilic group of -SO and the hydrophobic group of -CF via electrostatic interaction and form a "micelle-like" structure, which is responsible for the poor desolvation kinetics and dendrite growth.
