In Situ Binder-Free and Hydrothermal Growth of Nanostructured NiCo<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub>/Ni Electrodes for Solid-State Hybrid Supercapacitors

Herein, we report a comparison of the electrochemical performance of two kinds of NiCo<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub>-based electrodes for solid-state hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs). For the binder-free electrode, NiCo<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub> was grown on Ni...
