Abstract
Transition metal and rare earth selenides have gained considerable attention in energy storage devices owing to their exclusive features. In this study, a hierarchical electrodeposition process has been employed for the construction of NiCo nanosphere@NiCo2Se4 cauliflower decorated with La2Se3 nanowarm on the nickel foam as the positive electrode for hybrid supercapacitors. The results of SEM analysis showed that La2Se3 nanowarms had grown on NiCo NS@NiCo2Se4 with a core@shell structure. The fabricated electrode showed a high specific capacitance of 820C g1 at 2 A g1 and retained its specific capacitance (70 %) even at a high current density (20 A g1) with excellent durability (93 % after 5000 cycles). Finally, an asymmetric supercapacitor device has been fabricated with NiCo NS@NiCo2Se4/La2Se3 and the activated carbon electrodes as the cathode and anode, respectively. The hybrid supercapacitor showed an excellent energy density of 44.95 W h kg1, a power density of 622 W kg1, and preeminent cycling stability with 89 % retention over 5000 charge-discharge cycles. The as-made hybrid supercapacitor appears as a high-performance storage device for practical applications.
