Item Aging impact of Se powder on the electrochemical properties of Molybdenum selenide: Supercapacitor application(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-02-10T00:00:00) Tanwar, Shweta; Singh, Nirbhay; Sharma, A.L.In the present report, we have studied the impact of aging on selenium (Se) powder in hydrazine hydrate (act as reducing agent) during synthesis of pure molybdenum selenide (MoSe2) material. The MoSe2 as electrode material is prepared via single-step hydrothermal technique with aging Se powder in reducing agent for zero, one, and three days. The structural, microstructural, and chemical nature analysis of the samples was done via XRD, FESEM, and FTIR tools whereas the electrochemical study was performed via CV, GCD, and EIS techniques. The optimized material coded as M 39 (three days aged sample with pH 9) shows a high specific capacitance (Cs) of 368 F g?1 at the current density of value 0.5 A g?1 along with an energy density of 51 Wh kg?1 and power density of 250 W kg?1. Based on the electrode's electrochemical outcomes, it may be indicated that the electrochemical performance of MoSe2 material upsurges as the aging of Se increases from zero to three days. From the obtained results it is could be predicted that the M 39 material may stand appropriate for commercial supercapacitors. � 2022Item High efficient activated carbon-based asymmetric electrode for energy storage devices(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-01-19T00:00:00) Singh, Nirbhay; Tanwar, Shweta; Yadav, B.C.; Sharma, A.L.Electrodes are fabricated using activated carbon@FeOOH and MoSe2. The synthesis of both electrode materials individually is done by a one-step hydrothermal process. The structural, morphological and chemical information's are investigated by XRD, FESEM and FTIR respectively. The electrochemical properties are investigated by EIS, CV and GCD. The Nyquist plot gives the value of Rb and Rct as 1.0 ? and 1.3 ? respectively. The cell shows a maximum specific capacitance of 110 F/g at the scan rate of 40 mV/s and the GCD shows a specific capacitance of 87.5 F/g at a high current density of 10 A/g. The energy density and power density calculated at current density 10 A/g are 31.11 Wh kg?1 and 4479 W kg?1, additionally, the maximum power density is 16000 W/kg, which is obtained at a current density of 40 A/g. The cell shows structural stability up to 5000 cycles with a capacity retention of 79%. The overall electrochemical performance of asymmetric electrodes (activated carbon@FeOOH and MoSe2) indicated its potential application in supercapacitors at commercial scale. � 2022
