Novel electrospun bead-like AgMoO nanofibers coated on Ni foam for visible light-driven heterogeneous photocatalysis and high-performance supercapacitor electrodes.

Novel AgMoO nanocomposite fibers were designed to enhance the photocatalytic response and supercapacitor performance of MoO grown the sol-gel electrospinning technique. The AgMoO nanocomposite fibers exhibit a high specific surface area of 49.3 m g comprising nanobeads that aggregate in the fibrous structure. The photodegradation efficiency of AgMoO was evaluated as 62% under visible light irradiation which improved to 71% with heterogeneous photocatalysis. The AgMoO@Ni foam exhibited a low of 19.6 Ω, and an enhanced specific capacitance of 1445 F g was obtained at 1 A g, with 93% of its initial capacitance remaining after 5000 cycles. In addition, the AgMoO//activated carbon asymmetric supercapacitor possesses an excellent energy density of 76.6 W h kg at 743.2 W kg and a noteworthy cycling durability of 91% after 5000 cycles. Our findings demonstrate that the electrospun AgMoO@Ni foam is an important and inexpensive electrode material for supercapacitor applications and visible light-driven heterogeneous photocatalysis, drawing on the synergic effects of Ag and Mo to exhibit much better performance.
