The turn on field required to draw a field emission current density of 1 mu A/cm(2) is found to be 3.5, 2.3 and 2 V/mu m for WS2, RGO and the WS2-RGO composite respectively. The enhanced field emission behavior observed for the WS2-RGO nanocomposite is attributed to a high field enhancement factor of 2978, which is associated with the surface protrusions of the single-to-few layer thick sheets of the nanocomposite. The highest current density of similar to 800 mu A/cm(2) is drawn at an applied field of 4.1 V/mu m from a few layers of the WS2-RGO nanocomposite. Furthermore, first-principles density functional calculations suggest that the enhanced field emission may also be due to an overalp of the electronic structures of WS2 and RGO, where graphene-like states are dumped in the region of the WS2 fundamental gap.</p>1 aRout, Chandra, Sekhar1 aJoshi, Padmashree, D.1 aKashid, Ranjit, V.1 aJoag, Dilip, S.1 aMore, Mahendra, A.1 aSimbeck, Adam, J.1 aWashington, Morris1 aNayak, Saroj, K.1 aLate, Dattatray, J.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/superior-field-emission-properties-layered-ws2-rgo-nanocomposites-001821nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245010900055210006900164260000900233300001600242490000700258520105400265100002701319700002601346700001901372700001901391700002101410700002401431700002601455856012201481       2019                        eng d  a1477-922600aSynthesis of a 3D free standing crystalline NiSex matrix for electrochemical energy storage applications0 aSynthesis of a 3D free standing crystalline NiSex matrix for ele  cDEC   a16873-168810 v483 a<p>The electrochemical performance for energy storage of three-dimensional (3D) self-supported heterogeneous NiSex cubic-orthorhombic nanocrystals grown by a facile one-step chemical vapour deposition (CVD) approach on Ni foam substrates has been explored. NiSex shows a high specific capacitance of 1333 F g(-1) with ultra-high energy (105 W h kg(-1)) and power (54 kW kg(-1)) densities. Furthermore, by integrating the as-grown NiSex as the anode and reduced graphene oxide as the cathode, a hybrid super-capacitor (HSC) prototype with a coin cell configuration has been fabricated. The device shows better capacitance (40 F g(-1)) with high energy (22 W h kg(-1)) and power (5.8 kW kg(-1)) densities and robust cycling durability (similar to 88% capacitance retention after 10 000 repeated cycles). For practical reliability of the as-fabricated HSC, a red LED has been illuminated by connecting it with two charged coin cells. These outstanding performances of the HSC prove to be promising for applications in high energy storage systems.</p>
