The synthesized NiCo_2S_4@Mn S/CC electrode shows high capacitance of 1908.3 F g^(-1) at a current density of 0.5 A g^(-1) which is higher than those of NiCo_2S_4 and Mn S at the same current density. A flexible all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor(ASC) is constructed by using NiCo_2S_4@Mn S/CC as positive electrode, active carbon/CC as negative electrode and KOH/poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) as electrolyte. The optimized ASC shows a maximum energy density of 23.3 Wh kg^(-1) at 1 A g^(-1), a maximum power density of about7.5 kw kg^(-1) at 10 A g^(-1) and remarkable cycling stability. After 9000 cycles, the ASC still exhibited67.8% retention rate and largely unchanged charge/discharge curves. The excellent electrochemical properties are resulted from the novel core–shell structure of the NiCo_2S_4@Mn S/CC electrode, which possesses both high surface area for Faraday redox reaction and superior kinetics of charge transport. The NiCo_2S_4@Mn S/CC electrode shows a promising potential for energy storage applications in the future.展开更多
