Abstract

The composite electrode of CoNiSx and Ti3C2Tx MXene was successfully prepared using a one-step hydrothermal method under the in-situ doping of the cobalt element. The effects of in-situ doping of the cobalt element on the micromorphology and electrochemical performance of the electrodes were investigated. After in-situ doping of the cobalt element, NiS with a needle-like structure was converted into a CoNiSx with petal-like structure. The petal-like CoNiSx with a rough surface was very dense and evenly wrapped on the surface and interlamination of Ti3C2Tx, which helped increase the specific surface area and pore volume of the electrode. Under the identical test conditions, CoNiSx@Ti3C2Tx had a higher specific capacitance and capacitance retention than NiS@Ti3C2Tx. This result indicated that the in-situ doping of the cobalt element promoted the electrochemical performance of the electrode. The energy density of the CoNiSx@Ti3C2Tx/nickel foam (NF)//activated carbon (AC)/NF asymmetric supercapacitor device was 59.20 Wh·kg–1 at a power density of 826.73 W·kg–1, which was much higher than that of NiS@Ti3C2Tx/NF//AC/NF. Three CoNiSx@Ti3C2Tx/NF//AC/NF in series were able to illuminate the light emitting diode lamp for about 10 min, which was higher than the 5 min of three NiS@Ti3C2Tx/NF//AC/NF in series under the same condition. The CoNiSx@Ti3C2Tx/NF//AC/NF with high energy density had better application potential in energy storage than the NiS@Ti3C2Tx/NF//AC/NF.
