Abstract
The development of hierarchical core−shell structures and multicomponent metal boride/metal oxide-based
composites presents a promising strategy to enhance supercapacitor
(SC) performance. In this study, we synthesized a Ni3B@Ni(BO2)2
(0D@2D) core−shell structure and integrated it with V2MoO8
(VMO) rods (1D) to form a Ni3B@Ni(BO2)2/VMO (NB@NBO/
VMO (0D@2D/1D)) composite. This composite was then used as
an electrode material on a flexible carbon cloth (CC) substrate for
SC applications. The 1D-VMO rods were derived from V-doped
MoSe2 nanosheets via hydrothermal synthesis and calcination,
while the NB@NBO/VMO composite was obtained by using a
liquid-phase method. Structural, compositional, and morphological characterizations were conducted using XRD, XPS, FE-SEM, and
TEM-EDS. In a three-electrode system, the NB@NBO/VMO-50 composite showed an impressive Cs of 698 F g−1 at 1 A g−1
,
ascribed to its unique core−shell architecture, which enhances contact and faradaic properties, shortens ion diffusion paths, and
provides abundant active sites. Notably, the NB@NBO/VMO-50 displayed excellent cyclic stability, retaining 75.1% of its
capacitance after 10,000 cycles at 10 A g−1
. This performance is better than those of other electrodes, including pristine VMO/CC,
NB/CC, NB@NBO/VMO-25, and NB@NBO/VMO-75. When evaluated in a two-electrode asymmetric SC system, the NB@
NBO/VMO-50/CC||rGO device operated at 1.6 V and delivered a high energy density (ED) of 40.5 Wh kg−1 at a power density
(PD) of 800 W kg−1
. It also reached a PD of 16,000 W kg−1 while maintaining an ED of 23.5 Wh kg−1
. The device also showed
remarkable long-term durability, maintaining 79.3% of its capacitance and 99.9% Coulombic efficiency after 8000 charge−discharge
cycles at 8 A g−1
, demonstrating its strong potential for next-generation energy storage applications.
