Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of materials preparation and energy storage, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a molybdenum-doped basic cobalt carbonate nanosheets@cobalt sulfide nanosheet array / nickel foam composite material as a supercapacitor electrode material. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, severe environmental problems have driven a global consensus on the urgent need to develop renewable energy storage technologies. Supercapacitors, with their ultra-fast charging and discharging rates and ultra-high power density, have become energy storage devices with great development potential.
[0003] Co3S4, with its high specific capacity, excellent conductivity, and tunable structure, is an ideal candidate material for high-performance hybrid supercapacitor electrodes. Co3S4 nanosheet arrays derived from MOFs possess abundant porosity and a large specific surface area, providing numerous electrochemical active sites while enhancing the interfacial interaction between electrolyte ions and electrode materials. Furthermore, the nanosheet array structure provides unobstructed diffusion channels for the rapid transport of ions and electrons.
[0004] Core-shell structures can optimize electron / ion transport pathways, synergistically improve specific capacity, and simultaneously suppress active material aggregation and structural collapse, thereby enhancing cycling stability. Furthermore, core-shell structures can shorten charge migration distances, accelerate interfacial charge transfer kinetics, and strengthen synergistic effects between different components, ultimately improving overall electrochemical performance.
[0005] Currently, metal oxides, metal sulfides, and metal hydroxides are often used with MOF-derived Co3S4 nanosheet arrays to construct core-shell composite materials, which can significantly improve electrochemical performance. Basic cobalt carbonate (CCH) contains abundant redox active sites and has a significant theoretical specific capacity advantage; at the same time, the carbonate ion can play a structural stabilizing role, effectively improving the electrode cycle life. Mo doping can significantly improve the inherent poor conductivity of basic carbonates and reduce charge transfer resistance, thereby greatly improving the conductivity of basic cobalt carbonate. Therefore, in-situ growth of Mo-doped CCH nanosheets on the surface of Co3S4 nanosheet arrays and construction of a core-shell structure can combine the dual advantages of Mo-CCH's abundant active sites and excellent conductivity, and utilize the buffering effect of the composite structure to suppress volume deformation during charge and discharge, which is expected to simultaneously achieve a synergistic improvement in electrode specific capacity and cycle stability.
[0006] In summary, this invention has prepared a molybdenum-doped basic cobalt carbonate nanosheets@cobalt sulfide nanosheet array / nickel foam composite material. Due to its core-shell structure and the synergistic effect between the multi-component metals, it has excellent electrochemical performance and has good application prospects as an electrode material for supercapacitors.

Furthermore, the diffraction peaks at 44.5°, 51.7°, and 76.4° are attributed to the (111), (200), and (220) crystal planes of nickel foam.

In the S 2p spectrum, 164.31 eV (S 2p 1 / 2 ) and 161.45 eV (S 2p 3 / 2 The characteristic peaks are typical responses of metal-sulfur bonds, and the absorption peak at 168.38 eV originates from high-valence sulfur on the material surface. Figure 3 i). In summary, the characterization results demonstrate that the Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF composite material has been successfully prepared.
[0049] Figure 4 The electrochemical performance of Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF was demonstrated. Figure 4 a represents Co-MOF, Co3S4 / NF, Mo-CCH / NF, and Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF at a scan rate of 20 mV / s. -1 Cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves were obtained. Among them, the CV curve of Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF had the largest closed integral area, indicating that it had the best specific capacity. Figure 4 b shows the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) curves of each electrode: the high-frequency region corresponds to the semicircular part of the curve, and the low-frequency region corresponds to the straight line segment. The inset shows the equivalent circuit diagram. The Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF electrode has the largest slope of the straight line in the low-frequency region, indicating that the electrolyte diffusion resistance is lower; its charge transfer resistance Rct is only 0.066 Ω, which is lower than that of Co-MOF / NF (0.122 Ω), Co3S4 / NF (0.102 Ω) and Mo-CCH / NF (0.098 Ω), respectively. Figure 4 c represents Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF in the range of 1–10 A g. -1 The galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) curves at current density show good overall symmetry and a clear charge-discharge plateau, demonstrating the excellent electrochemical reversibility of the electrode. With increasing current density, the specific capacity of all electrodes decreases. Among the four electrodes, Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF exhibits the best performance: at 1 A·g -1 The specific capacity can reach 1816.2 C g. -1 Even if the current density is increased to 10 A·g -1 The specific capacity can still be maintained at 1382.1 C g. -1 This demonstrates excellent rate performance. Figure 4 d). As the scan rate increases, the redox peaks of the CV curves of the Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF electrode shift towards higher and lower potentials, respectively. This is because the redox reaction time of the active material is insufficient at high scan rates. Meanwhile, the CV curve profiles at different scan rates do not show significant distortion, indicating that the redox reaction of this electrode is highly reversible. Figure 4 e). The redox reaction mechanism corresponding to Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF is as follows.

[0054] To further investigate the energy storage mechanism of this electrode material, the correlation between the scan rate and peak current in the cyclic voltammetry curves was analyzed. The calculated b values were 0.65 and 0.61, respectively, indicating that the charge storage kinetics of Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF are jointly dominated by diffusion-controlled and capacitance-controlled processes, with diffusion-controlled processes being the dominant one. Figure 4 f). At a scan rate of 10 mV s -1 At that time, the capacitance contribution of this material was 18.9% ( Figure 4 g). As the scan rate increases, the contribution of capacitance control gradually increases ( Figure 4 After 10,000 long-cycle tests, the electrode capacity retention rate reached 87.5%, and the coulombic efficiency stabilized at 99.5%. Figure 4 i), demonstrating that Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF exhibits excellent cycling stability.
[0055] Figure 5 The structural models, density of states (DOS), adsorption energy, and charge density difference of Co3S4, CCH, Mo-CCH, and Mo-CCH@Co3S4 calculated by density functional theory (DFT) are presented to further elucidate the mechanism by which heterojunctions regulate the electrochemical performance of electrode materials. Figure 5 a–5d represent the microstructure models of the four materials. The d-band centers of the four materials are, in order: Co3S4 (-1.18 eV), CCH (-1.32 eV), Mo-CCH (-1.21 eV), and Mo-CCH@Co3S4 (-1.13 eV). This indicates that Mo-CCH@Co3S4 has the strongest d-electronic state density near the Fermi level, thus exhibiting the best intrinsic conductivity. Figure 5 (e–5h). Compared to CCH, Mo-CCH has more d electronic states at the Fermi level, proving that Mo doping can introduce additional coordination electrons and significantly improve the conductivity of basic cobalt carbonate materials. Figure 5 i represents the charge density difference plot of Mo-CCH@Co3S4, where the yellow and blue regions represent charge accumulation and charge dissipation, respectively, mainly concentrated at the heterojunction interface. Significant charge dissipation is observed on the Mo-CCH side, while a large amount of charge accumulates near the Co3S4 interface. The results indicate that the heterojunction interface can form a space charge region and a built-in electric field, driving efficient electron transfer from Mo-CCH to Co3S4. The electron dissipation region formed on the Mo-CCH surface enhances the adsorption capacity of hydroxide ions, accelerates reaction kinetics, and endows the material with excellent rate performance. Figure 5 j represents Mo-CCH@Co3S4 against OH - The adsorption configuration and adsorption energy calculations show that Mo-CCH@Co3S4 adsorbs OH... - The adsorption energy is -1.9743 eV, significantly lower than that of Co3S4 (-1.2731 eV), CCH (-1.465 eV), and Mo-CCH (-1.7721 eV). Figure 5 k), indicating that the heterojunction pair contains OH in the electrolyte. - It exhibits stronger capture and adsorption capabilities, effectively accelerating the redox reaction rate. This core-shell structure constructs an efficient charge transport pathway: electrons rapidly migrate from the Mo-CCH shell to the Co3S4 core, and are ultimately conducted to the nickel foam current collector; simultaneously, OH- in the electrolyte... - Driven by the built-in electric field, it penetrates the outer shell and diffuses to the core-shell interface, participating in reversible redox reactions to achieve charge compensation. The synergistic effect of the core-shell components ensures high-speed electron transport and provides ample channels for ion diffusion, synergistically improving the electrode's specific capacity, rate performance, and long-cycle stability. Figure 5 The above results indicate that Mo-CCH@Co3S4 / NF is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors.
