Abstract
Electrochemical supercapacitors are effectively involved and have potential attention in recent years due to the greatest advancements in energy storage system. In that, the electrode materials play a crucial role in achieving better electrochemical concert. In this work, three-dimensional NiO nanostructures were proposed as the high-capacity positive electrode for hybrid supercapacitors. In addition, the 3D-NiO electrode achieved a capacitance of 1100 F g−1 (605 C g−1) alone with 95.5% super stability retention. Similarly, a carbon-doped g-C3N4 nanosheet electrode involved as a negative electrode, which delivers a stability retention of 89.9%. Further, a hybrid supercapacitor device was made up of NiO as a positive, carbon-doped g-C3N4 as a negative material in an aqueous system, which shows the remarkable energy and power densities of 31.7 Wh kg−1 and 3625 W kg−1. The device delivers an admirable electrochemical performance that provides a huge active surface during the ion transportation process. These tolerable electrochemical results of this gathered hybrid supercapacitor device will be promoted as a various electronic tool in future generation.
