Hierarchical Fe_(x)Bi_(2−x)S_(3) solid solutions for boosted supercapacitor performance

For the pursuit of high energy supercapacitors,the development of high performance pseudocapacitance or battery-type negative electrode material is urgently needed to make up for the capacity shortage of commercial electric double layer capacitor(EDLC)type materials.Herein,a porous and defect-rich Fe_(x)Bi_(2-x)S_(3) solid solution structure is firstly constructed by employing Fe-doped Bi_(2)O_(2)CO_(3) porous nanosheets as a precursor,which presents dramatically increased energy storage performance than Bi_(2)S_(3) and FeS_(2) phase.For the optimized Fe_(x)Bi_(2-x)S_(3) solid solution(FeBiS-60%),the Fe solute is free and random dispersed in Bi_(2)S_(3) framework,which can effectively modulate the electronic structure of Bi element and introduce rich-defect due to the existence of Fe(II).Meanwhile,the FeBiS-60%,constructed by pore nanosheets that are assembled by self-supported basic nanorod units,presents rich mesoporous channels for fast mass transfer and abundant active sites for promoting capacity performance.Therefore,a high capacitance of 832.8 F·g^(-1) at a current density of 1 A·g^(-1) is achieved by the FeBiS-60%electrode.Furthermore,a fabricated Ni3S_(2)@Co_(3)S_(4)(NCS)//FeBiS-60%hybrid supercapacitor device delivers an outstanding energy density of 85.33 Wh·kg^(-1) at the power density of 0.799 kW·kg^(-1),and ultra-long lifespan of remaining 86.7%initial capacitance after 8700 cycles.
