Hybrid supercapacitors have gained upsurge interest in the energy storage application, but still have room to improve their specific power and energy limits with the implication of electrode materials that have superior electrochemical performance. Herein, we study the synergistic effect of the synthesized cobalt sulfide (CoS) along with manganese sulfide (MnS). The electrochemical outcomes were analyzed in three-electrode cell configuration. The cobalt manganese sulfide (CoS/MnS) composite demonstrates considerable better performance having specific capacity of 590.3 C g−1 (3 mV s−1) and 501.3 C g−1 (1.0 A g−1). The CoS/MnS electrode was further employed as a positive electrode material in a hybrid supercapacitor (supercapattery) along with activated carbon (negative electrode). The device delivers an energy density of 46 Wh kg−1 and holds a power density of 1705 W kg−1. Further, the hybrid device also retains a remarkable specific capacity of 94.57% after 1,000 continuous charging–discharging cycles at 3 A g−1. The semi-empirical approach was employed to further investigate the hybrid nature of the device, which separates the diffusive and capacitive contributions in experimental cyclic voltammetry. These results demonstrate CoS/MnS composite may have a promising implication as an electrode material for high-performance energy storage applications.

Keeping in view the toxicity of the Rhodamine B, the present study is designed to remediate the water loaded with toxic dyes using gallium oxide and gallium hybrids as photocatalyst. Precipitation coupled with sonochemical method is adopted for the synthesis of gallium oxide while the post grafting method is adopted for the synthesis of gallium hybrids with the indole and its derivatives. FTIR spectra showed the characteristic absorption bands of gallium oxide and gallium hybrids at 400-700 cm-1 and 1400-1600 cm-1. SEM and XRD showed the micro-sized rectangular rod-shaped gallium oxide with rhombohedral geometry. The average crystallite size of gallium hybrids was 26-32 nm calculated using the Debye Scherrer and Williamson-Hal models. The BET isotherm of gallium hybrids revealed the adsorption type-IV and hysteresis loop (H3) proposing multilayer and mesoporous structures with increase in surface area from 26 m2/g of gallium oxide to 31 m2/g of gallium-indole, 35 m2/g of gallium-methyl indole, and 37 m2/g of gallium-carboxylic indole. XPS showed the presence of gallium (3-14%), oxygen (28-32%), nitrogen (23-46%), and carbon (9-46%). The gallium oxide and gallium hybrids showed 47-72% optimum degradation of Rhodamine B under 2 h of illumination at pH 7 and 0.03 mg/L. The degradation rate followed a Langmuir-Hinshelwood model with R2 > 0.9.

The limited energy density and cyclability of supercapacitors are major roadblocks to their development as energy storage devices. To address these issues, a binder-free nickel−manganese (Ni−Mn) phosphate composite (NMP series) microarchitecture has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method on a nickel foam (NF) substrate using various urea dosages. Due to the influence of urea, microrod-/microplate-like morphologies of NMP series thin films evolved to micropetals. This study demonstrates a synergy between Ni and Mn metal ions and also the influence of different urea contents on the physicochemical properties of mesoporous NMP series thin films. Notably, the NMP-4 microarchitecture has a large surface area (7.5 m2 g−1), which provides more electroactive sites in electrochemical measurements. Accordingly, in the NMP series electrodes, the NMP-4 thin film demonstrated high electrochemical properties (the maximum specific capacity was found to be 901 C/g at a 5 mV/s scan rate) and retained 127% capacity over 6000 cycles, indicating good durability with a well-preserved microstructure throughout the cycling. Furthermore, a flexible asymmetric solid-state (FASS) supercapacitor was designed utilizing NMP-4 and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as a cathode and an anode, respectively, in the poly(vinyl alcohol)-KOH (PVA-KOH) gel electrolyte with an extended operational voltage of +1.8 V. This FASS device provides a high specific capacity (192 C/g at 0.6 A/g current density), supreme energy density (48.2 Wh kg−1) at a power density of 575 W kg−1, and a desirable longevity of 108% over 5000 cycles. Moreover, the FASS device also demonstrated its practical applicability. The long-term stability suggests that the binder-free urea-assisted Ni−Mn phosphate composite is a good candidate for energy storage devices.

Hybrid batteries a well-known electrochemical energy storage technology that comprises of both supercapacitor and battery characteristics at the same time. The hybrid batteries can fulfill the current global energy quest as they have obtained high energy density (battery) and high-power characteristics (supercapacitor). Here, we have demonstrated the effect of synthesis technique on the electrochemical performance of manganese sulfide (MnS) by mainly opting sonochemical and hydrothermal approach. Initially, the electrochemical characterizations of MnS were analyzed in three electrode setup. Electrochemical measurements in particular cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge discharge, and impedance spectroscopy were studied to scrutinize the nature of the electrodes. The hydrothermally synthesized MnS shows battery grade nature with superior specific capacity of 608.08 C/g at 2.2 A/g. On account of high electrochemical performance, the prominent electrode was employed with activated carbon to explore hybrid battery applications. The hybrid device (S2//AC) has revealed exceptional specific capacity of 265 C/g at 2 A/g and 519.8 C/g at 3 mV/s. Also, the S2//AC device manifests remarkable specific power and energy of 1700 W/kg and 62.5 Wh/kg, correspondingly. Furthermore, a simulation approach was used to evaluate the contribution of capacitive and diffusive by applying Dunn's model. The nature of the asymmetric device was also confirmed by calculating its b fitting values. This study shows that the MnS has the potential to be utilized for efficient energy storage systems.
