As expected, CoNi_2S_4/Ni possesses such outstanding electrocatalytic properties that it requires an overpotential of only 54 mV at 10 mA cm^（-2） and 328 mV at 100 mA cm^（-2） for HER and OER, respectively. Furthermore, by utilizing the CoNi_2S_4/Ni electrodes as bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting, a current density of 10 mA cm^（-2） can be obtained at a voltage of only 1.56 V.展开更多

The as-prepared CoNi_2S_4 served as a supercapacitor, showing a specific capacitance of 1129.5 F/g with over 99% coulombic efficiency at a current density of 4 A/g in 3 M KOH. And after 3000 cycles of charge and discharge tests, 92.3% of its initial capacitance can be still maintained. The results demonstrate that the material is promising as an electrode material for supercapacitors in energy storage.展开更多
