Hydrothermal synthesis and capacitance property of cobalt sulfide/graphene oxide nanocomposite.

The cobalt sulfide/graphene oxide (CoS/GO) nanocomposite was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal reaction. The products as-synthesized were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET-BJH and TG. The electrochemical property and impedance of the CoS/GO nanocomposite were studied by cyclic voltammetry and EIS analysis, respectively. The results show that the presence of the GO enhances the electrode conductivity, and then improves the capacitance property of the CoS/GO nanocomposite. The galvanostatic charge/discharge measurement results show that the CoS/GO nanocomposite has a high specific capacitance (550 Fg) and long cycle life (over 1 000 cycles). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
