Pseudocapacitive-battery-like behavior of cobalt manganese nickel sulfide (CoMnNiS) nanosheets grown on Ni-foam by electrodeposition for realizing high capacity.

ABSTRACT: Hierarchical interconnected nanosheets (HIN) of cobalt manganese nickel sulfide (CoMnNiS) were synthesized on Ni foam by a simple and economical electrodeposition technique for energy storage application. Sulfonated thin nanosheets of Co, Mn and Ni provide stability of chemical activity, surface functionalization and surface reactivity to the electrode. The fabricated electrode shows a specific capacity of 257.4 mA h g^-1 (at 2.5 A g^-1), measured by galvanostatic charging-discharging (GCD). Both diffusion and capacitive mechanisms in the sulfide layer contribute to the high electrical conductivity. Asymmetric devices CoMnNiS/NiCuO and CoMnNiS/CNT (CNT = carbon nanotubes) were fabricated, providing a maximum operating voltage of 1.7 V and 1 V, specific capacity of 20.8
