Synergistic Effects in BFO@NiCoS@CNT//AC Nanocomposite for High-Capacity Energy Storage Systems

Here, we synthesized a nanocomposite electrode material for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitor devices (ASCD) made of bismuth ferrite (BFO) nanocomposite and nickel cobalt sulfide with carbon nanotubes (NiCoS@CNT). To fabricate the BFO@NiCoS@CNT nanocomposite, a simple hydrothermal process was used. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements, and cyclic voltammetry were used to evaluate the electrochemical experiments. At a scan speed of 5 mVs −1 , the BFO@NiCoS@CNT nanocomposite exhibited a specific capacitance of 2890 Fg −1 , surpassing pure BFO@NiCoS. Furthermore, the nanocomposite displayed excellent cyclic stability, retaining around 87.8% of its capacity retention even after 5000 cycles. Another notable property is its energy density (Ed) of 71 Whkg −1 at the power density (Pd) of 2400 Wkg −1 . Based on these promising findings, BFO@NiCoS@CNT nanocomposite might be used to fabricate electrodes for high-performance hybrid supercapacitors. Our research indicates that this is the first report of a BFO@NiCoS@CNT nanocomposite used as an asymmetric supercapacitor.
