Abstract :
All Nickel Sulphide thin films were deposited onto the stainless steel substrate by modified chemical bath deposition method. The structural, surface morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively. The electrochemical capacitor performances were examined by using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge method. The NiS electrode exhibits a good cycling performance. The specific capacitance of 353 Fgm-1 has been obtained in 2 M KOH solution at a scan rate 50 mVs-1 within the potential range 0 to 0.8 V Vs Ag/AgCl. In charge-discharge behaviors, the maximum energy density (E) of 11.7 Whkg-1 and power density (P) of 4.3 kWkg-1 was obtained at a current density 1 mA/cm2. Impedance spectroscopic analysis revealed that the ESR is 5 Ω in KOH electrolyte.
