Abstract

A composite of NiS nanoparticles reinforced with rGO was synthesized using the electrodeposition method. NiS composites with different rGO concentrations (1%, 3%, and 5%) were synthesized. NiS/5%rGO composite exhibits high capacitance and cycling stability. The composites' properties, including structure, morphology, composition, and electrochemical behavior were compared to pure NiS. XRD patterns confirmed the crystal structure and phase of NiS and NiS/rGO composites. SEM images show the hierarchical structure of NiS and the sheet-like morphology of GO. Integration of NiS nanoparticles onto rGO nanosheets is confirmed by Raman study. EPMA and HR-TEM techniques revealed the elemental composition and particle distribution of the composites. The increasing % of rGO increased the electrode's specific surface area and current-carrying ability, enabling efficient charging and discharging processes due to rapid electron conduction across the underlying graphene layers. This enhancement in the electrochemical behavior of NiS/5%rGO composite can be attributed to energy storage and green vehicle applications.
