Abstract:
Heteroatom doping, especially with elements of lower electronegativity and smaller atomic radius, can effectively modulate the electronic structure and surface properties of electron materials, facilitating the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. Herein, we have designed boron-doped NiCoP nanoarrays grown on carbon cloth (B-NCP-CC) for supercapacitor cathode materials using a simple process method combining hydrothermal, calcined phosphating and boronation processes. The introduction of boron, with lower electronegativity (2.04) and smaller atomic radius (0.85 & Aring;) than phosphorus (2.19 and 1.00 & Aring;), induces electron redistribution and shortens the Ni/Co-B bonds, enhancing their redox activity and charge transfer kinetics. The boron doping greatly enables the B-NiCoP-CC-18 (NiCoP-CC borated for 18 h) cathode material to provide a high capacity of 801 C g(-1). The assembled B-NiCoP-CC-18||AC hybrid supercapacitor achieves a high energy density of 73.22 W h kg(-1) at a power density of 963.8 W kg(-1) and retains 90% capacity after 5000 cycles, significantly improving the stability of nickel-based materials. Besides, density functional theory (DFT) calculations further elucidate that the introduction of boron increases the d-band centers of Ni and Co in NiCoP, promoting the conductivity and enhancing the electrochemical properties.
