Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) are considered as attractive materials in the areas of energy storage because of their unique redox properties, excellent electronic conductivity, as well as environmental friendliness. However, poor cyclic stability and limited electrochemical active sites hinder their further application. To address this issue, a flower-like hierarchical CuCo2S4structure is constructed by a two-step hydrothermal method. In this nanostructure, CuCo2S4grows outward to form a tightly bound hierarchical structure on the nickel foams (NFs). This oriented structure can provide more laminar gaps for electrolyte ion diffusion, exposing more reaction sites to increase the ion transport efficiency between the layers, reducing the ion transport resistance and improving the reaction kinetics. Thus, the CuCo2S4electrode exhibits excellent energy storage performance, exhibiting a high specific capacity of 1415.6 F g−1at 1 A g−1. After 10,000 cycles of 10 A g−1, it still has 91.9% of the initial performance. In addition, an asymmetrical supercapacitor (ASC) was constructed by choosing CuCo2S4as the anode and RGO as the cathode, which has the maximum energy density (61.8 Wh Kg−1) at 812.1 W Kg−1and significant cycling endurance (92.05% retention) at 10,000 turns. Briefly, the researchers successfully constructed an array of CuCo2S4flower-like hierarchical nanostructures and confirmed their potential application in supercapacitors.Keywords:TMSs;CuCo2S4;flower-like hierarchical nanostructure;supercapacitor

Exploring electrode materials with excellent performance is an important topic in meeting the needs of supercapacitors. Here, we report a three-dimensional porous CuCo 2 S 4 /graphene/Carbon nanotube (CuCo 2 S 4 /GO/CNTs) composite material. By constructing a three-dimensional interpenetrating network through chemical cross-linking, CuCo 2 S 4 nanosheets are combined for the first time with the planar loading characteristics of GO and the conductive advantages of CNT, solving the problem of structural instability caused by volume expansion of metal sulfides. A good charge transfer network was formed by using the GO/CNT heterogeneous interface, achieving high electrical conductivity and stable cycling performance. At the same time, it also hindered the re-stacking of CuCo 2 S 4 nanosheets with GO. Notably, as A binderless electrode in a water-electrolyte, the resulting CuCo 2 S 4 /GO/CNTs composite has a high specific capacitance of 1659.46 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 . It also has excellent cycle stability (90.45 % capacitance maintained after 5000 cycles at A high current density of 10 A g −1 ). In addition, asymmetric capacitors prepared with CuCo 2 S 4 /GO/CNTs and AC as positive and negative electrodes have higher energy and power density (62.4 Wh kg −1 , 802.3 W kg −1 ) and long cycle stability after 10,000 cycles. This multi-component collaborative enhancement strategy provides a new material design idea for the development of high-energy power density supercapacitors.

In this paper, we prepared CuCo2S4/MWCNTs as a heterogeneous iron-free bimetal catalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye by uniformly synthesizing CuCo2S4 nanoparticles on the surfaces of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The homogeneous nanostructure, tuned by MWCNTs, and the efficient electron transfer from CuCo2S4 to MWCNTs resulted in a quite decent catalytic activity, which was superior to that of pristine CuCo2S4 and monometal sulfides. Moreover, CuCo2S4/MWCNTs maintained a good catalytic performance over a broad pH range of 3 to 12, and exhibited better MB degradation rates under alkaline conditions. Meanwhile, the catalyst was reusable for up to three cycles due to the strong interaction between the nanoparticles and MWCNTs. The results demonstrate that CuCo2S4/MWCNTs is an improved Fenton catalyst and a promising candidate to substitute iron-based catalysts for the treatment of wastewater containing dyes.

Transition metal sulfides (TMS) have drawn increasing research interest owing to their unique electronic structure. They hold broad prospects in accelerating the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during water electrolysis. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) feature controllable electronic structures and specific surface areas, which facilitate the adsorption of reactants and expedite interfacial electron transfer. Leveraging the above-mentioned advantages of the two materials, a kind of composite electrocatalyst, CuCo 2 S 4 @MIL-53(Fe)/NF, was synthesized by growing MIL-53(Fe) in-situ onto CuCo 2 S 4 nanowires supported on nickel foam. This composite electrocatalyst can accelerate charge transfer, significantly increase the number of active sites, and enhance both electrocatalytic activity and stability. The electrocatalyst CuCo 2 S 4 @MIL-53(Fe)/NF can drive the OER with an overpotential of 390 mV at a current density of 100 mA·cm −2 . Moreover, it still demonstrates excellent catalytic activity after 75 h of testing. This study not only broadens the avenues for sulfide composites but also provides an experimental basis and support for the direct combination of metal chalcogenides and Fe-based MOFs as electrocatalysts.

Recently more and more concerns have been paid on ternary metal sulfides for use in supercapacitors because of their better electrochemical performances compared with binary counterparts. In this work, CuCo 2 S 4 nanosheet arrays on Ni foam were prepared by a sequential ion-exchange strategy under hydrothermal conditions, where Co 3 O 4 was converted into Co 4 S 3 by an anion-exchange reaction between Co 3 O 4 and S 2− ions, subsequently the Co 4 S 3 was transformed into CuCo 2 S 4 through a cation-exchange reaction with Cu 2+ ions. The as-prepared CuCo 2 S 4 was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy . The CuCo 2 S 4 arrays were composed of interconnected thin nanosheets with thickness of about 10 nm. The CuCo 2 S 4 nanosheet arrays on Ni foam were directly employed as a binder-free electrode showing a high specific capacitance of 3132.7 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . Besides, an asymmetric supercapacitor based on this synthesized CuCo 2 S 4 electrode as positive electrode and active carbon as negative electrode can deliver a high energy density of 46.1 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 991.6 W kg −1 , and exhibits good rate capability and cycling stability.

To solve the current energy and environmental dilemma, hydrogen energy is considered to be the best clean energy source to replace traditional fossil fuels. Water electrolysis as the main technology for hydrogen production has been affected by two half-reactions, making it difficult to improve the yield. To solve this problem, the development of inexpensive and efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts is the focus of current research. CuCo 2 S 4 /NF(Ni foam) nanowires are synthesized using a mild hydrothermal process and were later placed in a plasma reactor. Application of the voltage triggers a chemical reaction between the microdischarge wires and the sample. This leads to a change in the physical morphology of the catalyst and an improvement in its catalytic performance. The morphological characterization results show that the catalyst modification generates a distinct flower-like nanowire structure, which helps in the solid attachment of the catalyst to the nickel foam surface. The plasma-modified CuCo 2 S 4 /Ni foam (PA@CuCo 2 S 4 /NF) exhibits low overpotentials of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solutions. Additionally, the Tafel slopes of the HER and OER are 85.9 mVdec −1 and 142.7 mVdec −1 , respectively, indicating optimal reaction kinetics. A cell voltage of only 1.55 V is required to provide a 10 mA cm −2 current during water splitting. This study validates the feasibility of using plasma technology to create high-performance electrocatalysts.

Non-precious metal sulfide bifunctional electrocatalysts with high efficiency for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hold great promises in the overall water splitting field. In this study, a hybrid bifunctional catalyst CuCo2S4@CoS2 was fabricated by synthesizing CuCo2S4 with ZIF-67 as a template and externally modified with CoS2. The CuCo2S4@CoS2 catalyst exhibited improved alkaline oxygen evolution and hydrogen evolution activities with the overpotentials of 261 mV@10 mA cm−2 and 153 mV@10 mA cm−2, respectively. The three-dimensional interconnected nanosheet stacked structure, high conductivity of CuCo2S4, and strong interfacial interactions endowed the hybrid CuCo2S4@CoS2 catalyst with enhanced HER and OER performance due to rich electrocatalytic active sites, fast diffusion pathways for reactants and intermediates, and reduced kinetic barriers. An electrolytic cell using CuCo2S4@CoS2 as both cathode and anode required a cell voltage of 1.61 V, along with good long-term stability, to deliver a current of 10 mA cm−2, suggesting a promising bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

A poor electrical conductivity and short cycle life limits the wide application of transition metal oxides in energy storage applications. In this study, yolk-shell structured CuCo 2 S 4 was grown on NiO nanosheets (NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 ) via a hydrothermal method and vulcanization , which combined the synergistic interactions between Ni, Co, and Cu. The effect of varying the amount of the vulcanizing agent (thiourea) on the electrochemical performance of NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 was also investigated. Moreover, the amount of thiourea not only tuned the morphology of the composite, but significantly influenced its electrochemical performance. When the Cu 2+ : Co 2+ : thiourea molar ratio in the precursor solution was 1:2:6, the obtained NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 exhibited the best electrochemical performance of the various systems examined, with a specific capacitance of 1658 F g −1 being achieved at 1 A g −1 . Density functional theory calculations further confirmed the excellent synergistic effect between NiO and CuCo 2 S 4 . In addition, the asymmetric supercapacitor composed of a NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 positive electrode reached an ultrahigh energy density of 73 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 802 W kg −1 , as well as excellent cycling stability (i.e., 91% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles). These results suggest that NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 is a promising candidate for use in energy storage applications.

The demand for sustainable energy sources urges the development of efficient and earth-abundant electrocatalysts . Herein, chlorine assisted ion-exchange and in-situ sulfurization processes were combined to construct CuCo 2 S 4 @(Cu,Co) 2 Cl(OH) 3 heterostructures from Cu(OH) 2 nanoarrays. Chlorine element in the cobalt source stimulated the formation of (Cu,Co) 2 Cl(OH) 3 precursor, and further facilitated partial transformation of the precursor to CuCo 2 S 4 on the surface to achieve composite structure. The mixed valences of Co element (Co 3+ in CuCo 2 S 4 and Co 2+ in (Cu,Co) 2 Cl(OH) 3 ) and O S interpenetrated nanointerface in the composite catalysts provided low electron transfer resistance for good alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities. In 1 mol L −1 KOH electrolyte, the overpotentials of the optimal composite catalyst reached 253 and 290 mV respectively at the current density of 20 and 50 mA cm −2 , which is comparable to the activity of commercial Ir/C (281 mV@20 mA cm −2 ). These findings could provide opportunities for designing effective and inexpensive composite electrocatalysts through nanointerface engineering strategy.

Multicomponent heterogeneous Ti 3 C 2 transition metal carbide (MXene)-based materials are receiving extensive research attention due to their interesting synergistic interactions and catalytic properties. However, the morphology-controllable synthesis of heterostructures as structural stabilizers for Ti 3 C 2 MXene remains a challenge owing the complicated synthesis procedure. In this work, a kind of ternary heterogeneous nanomaterials CuCo 2 S 4 /CuS/Ti 3 C 2 MXene with a nanorod/nanoplate/nanosheet hybrid architecture is constructed through a one-step low-temperature solvothermal method. The well-designed ternary one-dimensional (1D)/two-dimensional (2D)/2D CuCo 2 S 4 /CuS/Ti 3 C 2 MXene heteromaterials exhibit synergistic improvements in substrate-catalyzed reactions for electrochemical acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor . The Michaelis-Menten constant for the Nafion/AChE/CuCo 2 S 4 /CuS/Ti 3 C 2 MXene/GCE biosensor is 228 μM, which is smaller than ones reported in previous literatures, indicating a higher affinity of the fabricated enzyme biosensor to acetylthiocholine chloride. The biosensor exhibits a well linear relationship with chlorpyrifos concentration ranging from 2.852 × 10 −12 M to 2.852 × 10 −6 M. The multicomponent 1D/2D/2D CuCo 2 S 4 /CuS/Ti 3 C 2 MXene heteromaterial may shine a light in more electrochemical applications.

Li-CO2 batteries with attractive characteristics of high energy density power supply and carbon dioxide fixation have attracted widespread attention. However, the lack of suitable cathode catalysts and their unsatisfactory electrochemical performance have impeded their development as promising Li-CO2 batteries for energy storage. Constructing heterojunctions by interfacial engineering to improve performance is considered one of the effective strategies. Herein, heterostructured CuCo2S4-Co9S8 nanosheets are fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method and employed as efficient cathode catalysts for Li-CO2 batteries. The construction of heterojunctions by interfacial engineering has proved as an effective strategy to enhance the electrochemical performance of the Li-CO2 batteries. The delocalized electrons between CuCo2S4 and Co9S8 contribute to a low median charge potential (∼3.6 V), small polarization (0.62 V), high energy efficiency of up to 83%, and outstanding cycle life (480 h) of the CuCo2S4-Co9S8 cathodes. Meanwhile, as a proof of concept, flexible fiber-shaped Li-CO2 batteries based on these cathodes are fabricated and demonstrate boosted flexibility adaptability and provide a stable power supply at various bending conditions.
