Abstract

Co3V2O8/Co3O4/Ti3C2Tx composite was easily synthesized via one-step succinct-operated hydrothermal process. The interconnected Co3V2O8/Co3O4 nanowires network can in-situ grow and anchor on the surface of Ti3C2Tx via the strong Co-F bonds and contribute tremendously to depress Ti3C2Tx self-restacking. Profiting from the synergistically interplayed effect among the multiple interfaces and high conductivity of Ti3C2Tx as well as outstanding stability of the as-designed nanostructure, the optimum Co3V2O8/Co3O4/Ti3C2Tx electrode reaches a commendable specific capacitance (up to 3800 mF·cm−2), great rate capability (80% capacitance retention after 20-times current increasing), and preeminent cycling stability (95.4%/85.5% retention at 7000th/20,000th cycle). Moreover, the all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor based on Co3V2O8/Co3O4/Ti3C2Tx and active carbon can deliver a high energy density of 84.0 μWh·cm −2 at the power energy of 3.2 mW·cm−2, and excellent cycling durability with 87.0% of initial capacitance retention upon 20,000 loops. This work provides a practicable pathway to tailor MXene-based composites for high-performance supercapacitor.

摘要

通过一步简便操作的水热工艺成功合成Co3V2O8/Co3O4/Ti3C2Tx复合材料。相互连接的Co3V2O8/Co3O4纳米线网络可以通过强Co-F键原位生长并锚定在Ti3C2Tx表面，并极大地抑制了Ti3C2Tx的自堆叠。得益于多重界面和Ti3C2Tx的高电导率以及所设计的纳米结构的稳定性，优化的Co3V2O8/Co3O4/Ti3C2Tx电极表现出优异的比容量（高达3800 mF·cm−2），良好的倍率性能（电流密度增加20倍时初始容量保留80%），和卓越的循环稳定性（第7000/20000次循环初始容量保留率分别为95.4%/85.5%）。此外，基于Co3V2O8/Co3O4/Ti3C2Tx和活性碳所构建的全固态不对称超级电容器可以在3.2 mW·cm−2的功率密度下提供84.0 μWh·cm−2的能量密度，并且展现出优异循环耐久性，在连续循环20000次后初始容量保留率为87.0%。本文为MXene基复合材料的高性能超级电容器提供了一条切实可行的途径。
