摘要
Rational design of advanced structure for transition metal oxides(TMOs) is attractive for achieving high-performance supercapacitors.However, it is hampered by sluggish reaction kinetics, low mass loading, and volume change upon cycling. Herein, hierarchical Ni Co_(2)O_(4) architectures with 2D-nanosheets-shell and 3D-nanocages-core(2D/3D h-NCO) are directly assembled on nickel foam via a facile one-step way.The 2D nanosheets are in-situ generated from the self-evolution of initial NCO nanospheres. This 2D/3D hierarchical structures ensure fast ion/electron transport and maintain the structural integrity to buffer the volume expansion. The 2D/3D h-NCO electrode with an ultrahigh mass loading(30 mg cm^(-2)) achieves a high areal capacity of 4.65 C cm^(-2)(equivalent to 1.29 mAh cm^(-2)) at a current density of 4 mA cm^(-2), and retains 3.7 C cm^(-2) even at 50 mA cm^(-2). Furthermore, the assembled solid-state hybrid supercapacitor yields a high volumetric energy density of 4.25 mWh cm^(-3) at a power density of 39.3 mW cm^(-3), with a high capacity retention of 92.4% after 5000 cycles. Therefore, this work provides a new insight to constuct hierarchical electrodes for energy storage application.
