The symmetry or structural stability of ABO3-type perovskite oxides depends largely on the size of ‘A’ and ‘B’ cations, which determines the material properties. The partial substitution of these cations may be used to tune these properties. The ionic sizes and valence states of the cations play an important role in improving the prop- erties of perovskite. In this study, the substitution of La3+ with Sr2+ with a larger ionic radius and Mn3+ with Fe3+ with a similar ionic radius favored both the crystal symmetry and the mixed ionic–electronic conductivity of the perovskite. Electrodes based on La0.7Sr0.3Mn0.5Fe0.5O3 (LSMFO55) exhibited a faradaic behavior with a specific capacity of 330 C g−1 (92 mAh g−1 ) at 12C rate, while this electrode maintained a capacity of 259 C g−1 at 240C (charge or discharge in 15 s). Additionally, exohedral carbon nano-onions (CNO) were introduced as a negative electrode to design an asymmetric hybrid supercapacitor (AHS) with a widened cell voltage. The use of CNO as a negative electrode in the AHS improved the rate capability drastically compared to the use of rGO. This device maintained a good energy density even at an extra-high charging rate (600C) owing to its outstanding rate capability. The high-rate performance of the LSMFO55//CNO AHS can be elucidated by successful fabrication with a mixed ionic–electronic conductive positive electrode and a CNO negative electrode. Tuning the electronic and ionic conductivities by cationic substitution and adopting an appropriate carbon-derived negative electrode (such as CNO) can provide a practical high-rate hybrid device using various perovskites.
The continual increase in energy demand and inconsistent supply have attracted attention towards sustainable energy storage/conversion devices, such as electrochemical capacitors with high energy densities and power densities. Perovskite oxides have received significant attention as anion-intercalation electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors. In this study, hollow nanospheres of nonstoichiometric cubic perovskite fluorides, KNi1-xCoxF3-delta (x = 0.2; delta = 0.33) (KNCF-0.2) have been synthesized using a localized Ostwald ripening. The electrochemical performance of the non-stoichiometric perovskite has been studied in an aqueous 3 M KOH electrolyte to categorically investigate the fluorine-vacancy-mediated charge storage capabilities. High capacities up to 198.55 mA h g-1 or 714.8 C g-1 (equivalent to 1435 F g-1) have been obtained through oxygen anion-intercalation mechanism (peroxide pathway, O-). The results have been validated using ICP (inductively coupled Plasma mass spectrometry) analysis and cyclic voltammetry. An asymmetric supercapacitor device has been fabricated by coupling KNCF-0.2 with activated carbon to deliver a high energy density of 40 W h kg-1 as well as excellent cycling stability of 98 % for 10,000 cycles. The special attributes of hollow-spherical, non-stoichiometric perovskite (KNCF-0.2) have exhibited immense promise for their usability as anion-intercalation type electrodes in supercapacitors.
With the vast exploration of the applications of graphene, researchers are assessing different methods for fabricating graphene-based electrode material with high capacitance but low material and energy costs. In this study, reduced graphene oxide/nickel oxide (RGO/NiO) nanocomposites were prepared using a non-aqueous solvent-based method followed by calcination. Nickel acetate tetrahydrate and tert-butanol were used as the precursor and solvent, respectively. Ultrasmall nickel oxide nanoparticles, ca. 8.0 nm in size, were deposited on the surface of the graphene sheets simultaneously with the partial reduction of graphene oxide. The resulting RGO/NiO electrode exhibited a high capacitance of 689 F g⁻1 at a current density of 0.8 A g⁻1. After 1500 cycles, the specific retention and the coulombic efficiency yielded to 86.34% and 96.39%, respectively, which supports the viability of this composite as an alternative activated material with high electrochemical performance.
Supercapacitors are an emerging energy-storage system with a wide range of potential applications. In this study, highly porous nickel-cobalt-oxide@reduced graphene oxide (Ni-Co-O@RGO-s) nanosheets were synthesized as an active material for supercapacitors using a surfactant-assisted microwave irradiation technique. The RGO-modified nanocomposite showed a larger specific area, better conductivity, and lower resistivity than the unmodified nanocomposite because the RGO facilitated faster ion diffusion/transport for improved redox activity. The synergistic effect of Ni-Co-O@RGO-s resulted in a high capacitance of 1903 F/g (at 0.8 A/g) in a mixed KOH/redox active K3Fe(CN)6 electrolyte. The asymmetric Ni-Co-O@RGO-s//AC supercapacitor device yielded a high energy density and power density of 39 Wh/kg and 7500 W/kg, respectively. The porous structure and combination of redox couples from both the electrode and electrolyte provided a highly synergistic effect, which improved the performance of the supercapacitor device.
The present study investigated decoration of Cu(OH)₂ with different morphologies by copper precursors on 3D nickel foam. The Cu(OH)₂-A (nano flower)electrode showed an excellent capacitance of 1332 Fg⁻¹ at current density of 2 Ag⁻¹ compared to the Cu(OH)₂-C (nano ribbon, 1100 Fg⁻¹) and Cu(OH)₂-S (nano Long leaf, 1013 Fg⁻¹) electrodes. An asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was fabricated and showed a Maximum capacitance of 165 Fg⁻¹ at current density of 2 Ag⁻¹ with high energy density of 66.7 Wh kg⁻¹ and power density of 5698 W kg⁻¹ with excellent stability of 80 % after 10,000 cycles.
