To overcome the low-energy-density limitation of supercapacitors, we aimed to achieve a material with a high specific capacitance by manipulating the nanostructure of FeS, which comprises the most abundant and affordable elements. In this study, nanosheet-assembled FeS (NSA-FeS) was fabricated using a novel method. Sub-micron droplets of sulfur particles stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone were formed in silicone oil medium, and Fe(CO) was absorbed and reacted on the surface to form core-shell particles, ES/[Fe], with a sulfur core and an iron-containing outer shell. The high temperature treatment of ES/[Fe] produced NSA-FeS, in which pyrite FeS nanosheets grew and were partially interconnected. In a three-electrode system, the as-prepared NSA-FeS and NSA-FeS/polyaniline (PANI) composites exhibited specific capacitances of 763 and 976 Fg, respectively, at a current density of 0.5 Ag, with corresponding capacitance retentions of 93 and 96% after 3000 charge-discharge cycles. The capacitance retention of the NSA-FeS/PANI composites was 49% when the current density was increased from 0.5 to 5 Ag. Notably, the obtained specific capacitances exhibited the highest values in pure FeS and FeS-based composites, indicating the significant potential for the utilization of iron sulfide in pseudocapacitive electrode materials.

This investigation explores the potential of co-incorporating nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) into copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures for bifunctional electrochemical charge storage and oxygen evolution reactions (OER). A facile wet chemical synthesis method is employed to co-incorporate Ni and Co into CuO, yielding diverse nanostructured morphologies, including rods, spheres, and flake. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman analyses confirmed the formation of NiCo-CuO nanostructure, with minor phases of nickel oxide (NiO) and cobalt tetraoxide (CoO).

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) show great promise as cathode candidates for aqueous zinc-ion batteries thanks to their high operating voltage, open-framework structure, and low cost. However, suffering from numerous vacancies and crystal water, the electrochemical performance of PBAs remains unsatisfactory, with limited capacity and poor cycle life. Here, a simple coprecipitation method is shown to synthesize well-crystallized cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) with a small amount of water and high specific surface area.
