Abstract
A new integration strategy of transition metal sulfide with carbon-based materials is used to boost its catalytic property and electrochemical performances in supercapacitor application. Herein, crystalline reduced graphene oxide (rGO) wrapped ternary metal sulfide nanorod composites with different rGO ratios are synthesized using hydrothermal technique and are compared for their physical, chemical, and electrochemical performances. It is found that their properties are tuned by the weight ratios of rGO. The electrochemical investigations reveal that β-NiCu2S/rGO nanocomposite electrode with 0.15 wt.% of rGO is found to possess maximum specific capacitance of 1583 F g-1 at current density of 15 mA g-1 in aqueous electrolyte medium. The same electrode shows excellent cycling stability with capacitance retention of 89% after 5000 charging/discharging cycles. The reproducibility test performed on NiCu2S/rGO nanocomposite electrode with 0.15 wt.% of rGO indicates that it has high reproducible capacitive response and rate capability. Thus, the present work demonstrates that the β-NiCu2S/rGO nanocomposite can serve as a potential electrode material for developing supercapacitor energy storage system.

Abstract
Designing and fabricating efficient electrocatalysts is a practical step toward the commercial application of the efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) over all pH ranges. Herein, novel Ti@Ni(OH)2-NiMoS heterostructure with interface between crystalline Ni(OH)2 and amorphous NiMoS was rationally designed and fabricated on Ti mesh (denoted as Ti@Ni(OH)2-NiMoS). Acid etching and calcination experiments helped in accurate elucidation of the synergistic mechanism as well as the vital role on crystalline Ni(OH)2 and amorphous NiMoS. In acidic solutions, the HER performance of Ti@Ni(OH)2-NiMoS was mainly attributed to the amorphous NiMoS. In neutral, alkaline, and natural seawater solutions, the HER performance was mainly determined by the synergistic interface behaviors between the Ni(OH)2 and NiMoS. The crystalline Ni(OH)2 accelerated water dissociation kinetics, while the amorphous NiMoS provided abundant active sites and allowed for fast electron transfer rates. To deliver current densities of 10 mA·cm-2 in acidic, neutral, alkaline, and natural seawater solutions, the Ti@Ni(OH)2-NiMoS required overpotentials of 138, 198, 180 and 371 mV, respectively. This paper provides general guidelines for designing efficient electrocatalyst with crystalline/amorphous interfaces for efficient hydrogen evolution over all-pH ranges.
