Synthesis of Hierarchical Porous Ni1.5Co1.5S4/g-C3N4 Composite for Supercapacitor with Excellent Cycle Stability.

ABSTRACT: In this work, the hierarchical porous Ni1.5Co1.5S4/g-C3N4 composite was prepared by growing Ni1.5Co1.5S4 nanoparticles on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets via a hydrothermal route. Due to the self-assembly of larger size g-C3N4 nanosheets as a skeleton, the prepared nanocomposite possesses a unique hierarchical porous structure that can provide short ions diffusion and fast electron transport. As a result, the Ni1.5Co1.5S4/g-C3N4 composite exhibits a high specific capacitance of 1827 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1, which is 1.53 times that of pure Ni1.5Co1.5S4 (1191 F g-1). In particular, the Ni1.5Co1.5S4/g-C3N4//activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor delivers a high energy density of 49.0 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 799.0 W kg-1. Moreover, the assembled devic
