Development of Nickel Based Flexible Composite Electrode for Supercapacitor Application

Abstract

Nickel based composite plays an tremendous role in energy storage application in which include batteries and supercapacitors. Nickel hydroxide electrodes are used in alkine batteries as Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and Ni-Zn. Composites like Nickel oxide (NiO) along with C&S increase long cycle life in batteries, Nickel hydroxide and reduce graphene oxide Ni(OH)2/ rGO reveal high electrical conductivity. Naturally nickel has rigid structure and it is onerous to make it flexible, keep in mind for making as flexible material its conductive property should not be effected, for this Nicl2 on a nickel foam substrate gave better performance for electric conductivity in thermal storage batteries. In Present work Lignocelluloses (LC) are introduced as a flexible substrate because it alters flexibility, cost efficient, rigidity and appear abundance in nature. Presented study show the flexibility of NiS and incorporation of lignocellulose fibers for development of nickel sulphide base paper electrodes. Hydrothermal method is employed to fabricate the nickel sulphide nanoparticles. Different characterization tools are applied for the existence of prepared sample like SEM its confirm the particle size, shape and surface morphology, XRD provide evidence that the sample is nickel sulphide(NiS) and electrochemical measurement gave information of specific capacitance and charge discharge values.
