Attaining a high energy density that aligns with practical application requirements is a crucial indicator in the advancement of supercapacitors. In this paper, a hybrid hierarchical electrode structure of N-doped carbon nanotube (NCNT) spheres encapsulated with NiCo-Se nanoparticles (NPs) and coated with nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) multilayer nanosheets was successfully synthesized on a nickel foam (NF) substrate. The self-supporting strategy enables nickel-cobalt Prussian blue analogues (Ni-Co PBAs) to be directly attached to the NF surface, which results in fluffy NCNTs with a high length-diameter ratio and considerable yield and greatly enhances the conductivity of the electrode material.

While supercapacitors have been widely studied as the next generation of energy storage devices, to develop active electrode materials for enhancing device performance is still challenging. Herein, we fabricated asymmetric supercapacitors based on NiZn-Layered double hydroxide (LDH) @NiCoSehierarchical nanostructures as electrode materials. The NiZn-LDH@NiCoSecomposites are deposited on Ni foam by a two-step strategy, in which NiZn-LDH nanosheets were firstly grown on Ni foam by hydrothermal method, and then NiCoSeparticles were prepared by electrodeposition.

Hollow Biphase Cobalt Nickel Perselenide Spheres Derived from Metal Glycerol Alkoxides for High-Performance Hybrid Supercapacitors.

Transition-metal selenides (TMSe) incorporate reversible multielectron Faradaic reactions that can deliver high specific capacitance. Unfortunately, they usually exhibit actual capacitance lower than their theoretical value and suffer from sluggish kinetics, which do not satisfy the demands of hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs), due to poor electron-transmission capability and inferior ion-transport rate. Herein, a kind of hollow biphase and bimetal cobalt nickel perselenide composed of metastable marcasite-type CoSe (m-CoSe) and stable pyrite-type NiCoSe (p-NiCoSe) is synthesized with metal glycerol alkoxide as precursors by regulating the Ni/Co ratios.

High-performance wearable supercapactors (SCs) are gaining prominence as portable energy storage devices. To further enhance both energy and power density, the significant relationship between structure and performance inspires a delicate design of 3D patternable supercapacitors with a hierarchical architecture of porous conductive fibers composited with pseudocapacitive materials. In this work, the polypyrrole nanowires arrays decorated 3D graphite felt fiber assembly is initially fabricated as the conductive scaffold, followed by the distribution of the highly conductive and pseudocapacitive NiCoSe nanoparticles.
