Hydrothermally synthesized homogeneous Ni–Mo–S structures on Ni-foam cathodes for thermal batteries

Abstract

Hydrothermally synthesized homogeneous structures based on Ni, Mo, and S on Ni metal foam cathodes (NiMoSs) were characterized electrochemically. A NiMoS-containing cell exhibited a much higher specific capacity of 1534 A s g⁻¹ than an FeS₂ cathode, owing to its homogeneous structure, demonstrating promise for thermal battery applications.
