Article Description

Thermal treatment of zinc-based MOF (ZIF-8) is conducted to prepare ZIF-8 derived porous carbon (ZIF-8-C). ZIF-8-C/NiS hexahedral composites with different C/Ni mole ratios (C@NiS-2, C@NiS-4 and C@NiS-6) are synthesized by solvothermal method. Co–P hydrogen storage material is prepared via mechanical alloying. Then, composites of Co–P coated with NiS, ZIF-8-C and C@NiS are obtained by ball-milling. Eventually, C@NiS-4 coated Co–P electrode exhibits higher discharge capacity of 624.8 mAh/g than separate NiS or ZIF-8-C modified Co–P and original Co–P electrodes. The HRD, corrosion resistance and kinetics properties of Co–P are also improved after C@NiS-4 loading. The enhanced kinetics performance and electrochemical activities of Co–P + C@NiS-4 may be due to the synergistic effect between flexible porous carbon ZIF-8-C and active NiS nanosheets, which can further accelerate the hydrogen diffusion during the charging/discharging processes.
