Electrodeposition of Au/Ni Layers on Tin Sulfide based Energy Storage Paper Electrodes for Improvement of Electrically Conductive Properties

Abstract

This research seek to have an unconventional and alternative source for bendable and flexible energy storage devices, which has proved useful to meet the demand of today’s energy crises. It is very beneficial to use natural self-growing plant’s lignocelluloses, which are very sufficient on earth and convert them in the form of paper-based electrodes. In this research, Lignocelluloses were obtain from natural source Monochoria vaginalis (MV). Six samples were prepared for electrodes of energy storage applications. LC/SnS2/Au, LC/SnS2/Ni using single layer electrodeposition technique. Before using these samples in energy storage devices as an electrode material we characterized These for Electrodeposition, Scanning Electron Microscope. Electrodeposition of Metallic layers are deposited on LC/SnS2 sheet by using three electrode setups. The SEM analysis displayed the fine fiber structure engage with each other displaying high mechanical properties with powerful electrodeposited layers of Au and Ni. In these samples nanoparticles of nickel and gold are clearly visible with uniform electrodeposition.
