摘要
Co3 O4 is one of the most studied transition-metal oxides for use in energy-storage devices.However,its poor conductivity and stability limit its application.In this study,a facile method for anchoring Co3 O4-encapsulated Cu2 O nanocubes on porous carbon(PC) to form Cu2 O@Co3 O4/PC was developed.The Cu2 O@Co3 O4/PC composite exhibited superior electrochemical performance as a supercapacitor electrode material.The resultant supercapacitor delivered high specific capacitance(1096 F g^-1 at 1 A g^-1),high rate capability(83 % retention at 10 A g^-1),and excellent cycling stability(95 % retention of initial capacitance after 3000 cycles).Moreover,an asymmetric supercapacitor fabricated by coupling a Cu2 O@Co3 O4/PC positive electrode with a reduced graphene oxide negative electrode exhibited high energy density(32.1 W h kg^-1 at 700 W kg^-1).Thus,our results demonstrate that Cu2 O@Co3 O4/PC is a promising electrode material for energy-storage devices.
