Abstract
A facile hydrothermal method was employed to fabricate tailored NiCo(CO3)(OH)2 electrodes for high-performance supercapacitors. Ni and Co ions, transition metals with versatile oxidation states, were used, promoting redox reactions. Additionally, a comparative analysis of the characteristics and electrochemical properties between electrodes fabricated with 3D Ni foam substrates and those without substrates was conducted. This comparison emphasizes the critical role of 3D substrate selection in enhancing electrochemical performance during electrode fabrication. Furthermore, carbonate/hydroxide-based transition metal electrodes have been fabricated. Carbonate-based transition metals can substantially increase the wettability of the electrode surface due to their hydrophilicity, which has proven beneficial in aqueous electrolytes. The NiCo(CO3)(OH)2 electrodes with Ni foam substrates and without Ni foam substrates exhibit impressive specific capacitances of 2576.4 and 1460.2 F g-1, respectively, at 3 A g-1. Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor configuration is introduced, utilizing the NiCo(CO3)(OH)2 electrode with a Ni foam substrate and graphene as positive and negative electrodes, respectively. A remarkable energy density of 35.5 W h kg-1 and a power density of 2555.6 W kg-1 at a current density of 2 A g-1 are exhibited by this configuration. Notably, excellent cycling stability is displayed by the asymmetric supercapacitor, with approximately ∼71.3% of its capacity retained after 10 000 cycles. These results highlight the promising potential of the fabricated electrodes and asymmetric supercapacitor configuration for practical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) exhibits a high theoretical capacity, excellent electrical conductivity properties, and remarkable interlayer spacing, making it an ideal electrode material for supercapacitors. However, during the charge and discharge processes, Bi is prone to volume expansion and pulverization, resulting in a decline in the capacitance. Deposition of a nonmetal on its surface is considered an effective way to modulate its morphology and electronic structure. Herein, we employed the chemical vapor deposition technique to fabricate Se-decorated Bi nanosheets on a nickel foam (NF) substrate. Various characterizations indicated that the deposition of Se on Bi nanosheets regulated their surface morphology and chemical state, while sustaining their pristine phase structure. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that Se-decorated Bi nanosheets exhibited a 51.1% improvement in capacity compared with pristine Bi nanosheets (1313 F/g compared to 869 F/g at a current density of 5 A/g). The energy density of the active material in an assembled asymmetric supercapacitor could reach 151.2 Wh/kg at a power density of 800 W/kg. These findings suggest that Se decoration is a promising strategy to enhance the capacity of the Bi nanosheets.

Abstract
Supercapacitors (SCs) have emerged as attractive energy storage devices due to their rapid charge/discharge rates, long cycle life, and high-power density. However, the development of innovative electrode materials to achieve high-performance remains crucial to meet future requirements in supercapacitor technology. In this work, we have explored the potential of a microwave-engineered NiZrO3@GNP composite as a promising electrode material for SCs. A microwave assisted hydrothermal approach was adopted for the fabrication of the NiZrO3@GNP nanocomposite. Structural and morphological investigations showed its structural richness and its chemical compositions. When applied as a SC electrode, this innovative combination exhibits battery-like behaviour with higher specific capacity (577.63 C g-1) with good cyclic stability, and good performance. We have assembled an asymmetric-type two-electrode SC device and analysed its electrochemical features. This NiZrO3@GNP device exhibits the specific capacity of 47 C g-1 with capacitance retention of 70% after 2000 charge-discharge cycles. Further research on optimizing the synthesis process and exploring different device configurations could pave the way for even higher-performance supercapacitors in the future.

Abstract
The interaction between cathode and anode materials is critical for developing a high-performance asymmetric supercapacitor (SC). Significant advances have been made for cathode materials, while the anode is comparatively less explored for SC applications. Herein, we proposed a high-performance binder-free anode material composed of two-dimensional ZnFe2O4 nanoflakes supported on carbon cloth (ZFO-NF@CC). The electrochemical performance of ZFO-NF@CC as an anode material for supercapacitor application was examined in a KOH solution via a three-electrode configuration. The ZFO-NF@CC electrode demonstrated a specific capacitance of 509 F g-1 at 1.5 A g-1 and was retained 94.2% after 10,000 GCD cycles. The ZFO-NF@CC electrode showed exceptional charge storage properties by attaining high pseudocapacitive-type storage. Furthermore, an asymmetric SC device was fabricated using ZFO-NF@CC as an anode and activated carbon on CC (AC@CC) as a cathode with a KOH-based aqueous electrolyte (ZFO-NF@CC||AC@CC). The ZFO-NF@CC||AC@CC yielded a high specific capacitance of 122.2 F g-1 at a current density of 2 A g-1, a high energy density of 55.044 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 1801.44 W kg-1, with a remarkable retention rate of 96.5% even after 4000 cycles was attained. Thus, our results showed that the enhanced electrochemical performance of ZFO-NF@CC used as an anode in high-performance SC applications can open new research directions for replacing carbon-based anode materials.

Abstract
Based on a facile three-step preparation method, Cu2O/Au/TiO2-NAs ternary heterojunction nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized by electrodepositing a Cu2O layer on the surface of Au nanoparticles (NPs) decorated highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays (NAs). The structure, surface morphology, chemical composition, and optical and intrinsic defects properties of the as-prepared samples are characterized by transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis light absorbance spectra, Raman scattering, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Simultaneously, the Cu2O/Au/TiO2-NAs ternary nanohybrids exhibited progressively improved photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) performance compared with the dual Cu2O/TiO2-NAs type-II nanoheterojunctions, confirming by the photocurrent density versus testing time curve (amperometric I-t curve), open-circuit potential versus testing time curve (V oc-t curve), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements, which were mainly ascribed to the synergistic effect of reduced interfacial charge transfer resistance and boosted energetic charge carriers generation associated with embedding Au NPs. Furthermore, the self-consistent charge transfer mechanism of Z-scheme and interband transitions mediated with Au NPs for Cu2O/Au/TiO2-NAs triple nanocomposites is proposed, which was evaluated by nanosecond time-resolved transient photoluminescence (NTRT-PL) spectra excited by 266 and 400 nm, respectively. Following this scheme, UV-vis light photocatalytic activities of Cu2O/Au/TiO2-NAs ternary nanohybrids were elaborated toward photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution, and the photodegradation rate of optimum triple nanocomplex was found to be 90%.
