Abstract

A facile wet-chemical assisted synthesis route is adapted to prepare a novel SnO2/SnSe nanocomposite for the time to construct an aqueous asymmetric hybrid supercapacitor (AAHSC). The detailed characterization reveals the appropriate formation of micro flower-like SnO2-SnSe nanocomposite-covered with SnSe network to provide a conductive support and facilitate charge transport during the electrochemical processs. Compared with pure SnO2 micro flowers and SnSe electrodes, the SnO2-SnSe nanocomposite electrode delivers a brilliant charge storage performance. A rapid charge transport pathways was accomplished due to the lowest charge transfer resistance, resulting in a high capacitance and improved charge storage properties in an aqueous alkaline electrolyte solution with incredible reversibility and rate capability. Inspired by the excellent charge storage and capacitive properties, a two-cell mode-based AAHSC was built with SnO2-SnSe nanocomposite (cathode) and activated carbon (AC) as an anode (symbolized as SnO2-SnSe||AC/KOH) displayed the highest energy of 33.4 Wh/kg at a maximum power of 4003.7 W/kg, operating in a voltage of 1.6 V with excellent cycling stability of 89.5 %. © 2023 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
