摘要

Multi-dimensional nanostructures could enhance the specific surface area, accelerate ions and electrons transport, and expose numerous electroactive sites of the electrode materials. Herein, the flower-like CuCo2O4@NiCo LDH nanostructures were produced in situ on nickel foam. Firstly, the CuCo2O4 nanowire arrays were grown on Ni Foam by hydrothermal and calcination methods. Then, the NiCo LDH nanosheets were grown on CuCo2O4 nanowires via the hydrothermal method. The CuCo2O4 nanowire arrays and NiCo LDH ultrathin nanosheets were interconnected to obtain the CuCo2O4@NiCo LDH flower-like nanostructures, providing a broadly accessible contact surface, effective paths for electron/ion transport, and numerous activity sites for faradic redox processes. Furthermore, the CuCo2O4@NiCo LDH composite fully utilized the electrochemical activity of CuCo2O4 and affinity for OH of NiCo LDH, contributing to the improved electrochemical performance. Consequently, the CuCo2O4@NiCo LDH electrode exhibited a high specific capacity of 1133.0 C g−1 (1 A g−1), an excellent rate capability of 59.0% at 20 A g−1 as well as a superior cycling stability of 85.2% at 6 A g−1 for 7000 cycles. Furthermore, the integrated CuCo2O4@NiCo LDH//AC asymmetric supercapacitor delivered a high energy density of 50.8 Wh kg−1 at the power density of 800 W kg−1 and obtained a superior capacitance retention of 91.7% after 10,000 cycles.
