Abstract
The present research focuses on, combining the chemistry of supercapacitors and batteries to get highly efficient hybrid energy storage devices. For projected drive, a novel battery‐grade electrode material is introduced. In this regard, binary and ternary metal sulfides with different compositions are synthesized via a facile sonochemical route. The electrode material Co (25%) Cu (75%) MnS (S4) reveals prime electrochemical performance, possessing a maximum specific capacity of 503.5 C g −1 while operating at 0.5 A g −1 in a three‐electrode assembly. The charge storage performance is further scrutinized in a two‐electrode assembly. A supercapattery device (S4//AC) is fabricated by coupling the Co (25%) Cu (75%) MnS (positive) and activated carbon (negative) electrodes. The device displays outstanding energy storage performance with an ultrahigh energy density of 88.71 Wh kg −1 along with a power density of 320 W kg −1 . The maximum power density delivered by the assembled supercapattery device is 8000 W kg −1 in parallel with an energy density of 20 Wh kg −1 . The supercapattery device also demonstrates an excellent cyclic stability potential of 84% after 3000 continuous charge/discharge cycles. The outstanding outcomes of the fabricated device reveals its potential applications in high‐performance energy storage technologies.
