Abstract:
Nickel and manganese, as two transition metals, were selected to synthesize three-dimensional flower-like bimetallic metal-organic framework (NiMn-MOF) which was stacked by two dimensional nanosheets by solvothermal method. Using NiMn-MOF as precursor, the mesoporous NiMn-LDH-NiS
2 composite electrode materials (NiMn-LDH-S) were prepared based on alkali etching and in situ partial vulcanization. The effects of the amount of sulfur source on the morphology, structure and electrochemistry of in-situ vulcanization products were systematically studied. The results show that the maximum specific capacitance of NiMn-LDH-S is
1783 F·g
−1 (0.5 A·g
−1) when the addition of thioacetamide is 8 mmol, and the initial capacitance of NiMn-LDH-S could be maintained by 57.90% after
3000 cycles at 10 A·g
−1. The NiMn-LDH-S//AC hybrid supercapacitor assembled with the synthetic NiMn-LDH-S composites as the positive electrode, active carbon as the negative electrode and 2 mol·L
−1 KOH as the electrolyte has a high energy density of 27.11 Wh·kg
−1 at 800 W·kg
−1. The energy storage device is capable of powering 2.0-2.2 V commercial LED lights (red, yellow and green) and keeping them on for 20 min.
