Abstract

In this paper, a novel CNF/ NiCo2S4 nanofibres were synthesized by simple one step inexpensive electrospinning process. CNF/NiCo2S4 material was used as electrode material for supercapacitor. The synthesized material was characterized for the study of surface morphology, elemental configuration and functional group identification by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The electrochemical performance of as synthesized material was further studied in 1M H2SO4 electrolyte by using cyclic voltametry (CV) with potential window of 1.4V, Galvanostatic charge-discharge from which the maximum specific capacitance of 370F/g with energy and power density of 12.85Wh/g and 124.92W/kg respectively at current density of 1A/g was obtained. The charge transfer mechanism was studied from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). These results show that the CNF/NiCo2S4 electrode could be promising material for supercapacitor application
