Facile Synthesis ZnS/ZnO/Ni(OH)₂ Composites Grown on Ni Foam: A Bifunctional Materials for Photocatalysts and Supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: A facile one-step hydrothermal reaction was employed to synthesis an integrated bifunctional composite composed by a network structure of ZnS/ZnO/Ni(OH)₂ nanosheets with ZnS/ZnO nanospheres in situ growing on Ni foam. The synergistic effect of these three substances make the composite having both improved electrochemical performances and photocatalytic activity. The ZnS/ZnO/Ni(OH)₂-4mmol shows a high specific capacitance of 1173.8 F g^-1 at 1 A g^-1, as well as good rate capability and relatively stable cyclability. Using as photocatalyst, the methyl orange dye in solution can be completely decomposed under ultraviolet-visible radiation in about 80 min. And the composite is easy to be repeatedly used because bulk Ni foam was used as a carrier. Such
