Graphene-coupled flower-like nickel sulfide monoliths that exhibit ultra-light, mesoporous structures and uniform particle sizes are successfully prepared using an F127-assisted hydrothermal method and high-temperature pyrolysis. As an electrode material for supercapacitors, the as-prepared rGO-Ni3S2 shows ultra-high specific capacitances of 1315 and 1050 F g(-1) at 1 and 10 A g(-1), respectively. After 1000 charge/discharge cycles at a current density of 1 A g(-1), the specific capacitance increases by almost 15%, indicating the excellent capacitance and durability of rGO-Ni3S2. Further, an asymmetric supercapacitor using rGO-Ni3S2 as positive electrode and active carbon as negative electrode exhibits high specific capacitance of 104.6 F g(-1) at 0.5 A g(-1), and excellent cycling stability with 85.6% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles at a current density of 4 A g(-1). These promising supercapacitor performances demonstrate that the as-developed surfactant-assisted hydrothermal strategy can be widely used to prepare graphene-coupled metal sulfides for high-performance supercapacitor applications.
