- Abstract
- In this work, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-wrapped mull-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), denoted as CNT@DNA, were successfully assembled through a facile sonication treatment. By using the as-obtained CNT@ DNA as template, a NiCo2O4-CNT@DNA composite with anchored NiCo(2)O(4 )nanoparticles was fabricated by coating via in situ precipitation. The nanostructures of the as-synthesized samples were examined via powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. Subsequently, the NiCo2O4-CNT@DNA and NiCo2O4-CNT (prepared without DNA) samples were used as cathode materials to fabricate supercapacitors with high capacitive performance. The results of electrochemical tests show that the NiCo2O4-CNT@DNA electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 760.0 F/g at 5 mV/s, which is higher than that of the NiCo2O4-CNT electrode. The NiCo2O4-CNT@DNA electrode displays a capacitance retention of 96.2% after 5000 cycles at the current density of 5 A/g. Moreover, a NiCo2O4 -CNT@DNA//activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor, prepared using NiCo2O4 -CNT@DNA and activated carbon as the positive and negative electrodes, respectively, shows a specific capacitance of 223.7 F/g and a maximum energy density of 69.7 Wh/kg at a power density of 373.9 W/kg. The NiCo2O4-CNT@DNA//AC asymmetric supercapacitors, integrated in series, powered 5 mm red, yellow, and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The above results demonstrate that the novel NiCo2O4-CNT@DNA composites can be promising candidates as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors in future applications.
