Electrochemical Performance of Synthesized ZnS Microspheres for Super capacitor Applications

Abstract

The integrated energy conversion and storage mechanism are highly needed in future to fulfil the demand of energy consumption. The current investigation carried out to explore such a material which have immense potential in this sector. The present study explores the electrochemical charge storage behaviour of Zinc Sulphide (ZnS) as supercapacitor electrode. The synthesis was done via cost-effective, efficient, and straight forward reflexive method. The synthesized ZnS nanoparticle exhibit excellent crystallinity with 17 nm of average crystallite size and having microsphere morphology conveyed an excellent specific capacitance of 74 Fg–1 at 1 Ag–1 of current density and 72 Fg–1 at sweep rate of 1 mVs–1 along with remarkable rate capability that reflects the genuine potential of synthesized ZnS as an electrode for supercapacitor in energy storage.
