Abstract:
Supercapacitors offer distinct advantages including high power density, fast charging and discharging capability, and excellent cycle longevity, yet their structural stability remains a critical challenge for practical applications. Herein, a core-shell structured Co
3O
4@NiCo
2O
4 was constructed on MXene surface via Ni
2+-assisted ion exchange and controlled annealing using a template precursor method with ZIF-67/MXene as the precursor. The microstructural characteristics and electrochemical energy storage performance of the as-prepared material were systematically investigated. Electrochemical measurements reveal that the as-prepared electrode delivers a specific capacitance of
1115.31 F·g
−1 at 1 A·g
−1 and retains 86.37% of its initial capacitance after
4000 cycles at 5 A·g
−1. Furthermore, the asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with this electrode achieves an energy density of 88.90 Wh·kg
−1 at a power density of 748.42 W·kg
−1, with a capacitance retention of 89.06% over
4000 cycles at 10 A·g
−1. This design synergistically integrates the MOF-derived porous architecture with the highly conductive MXene network, offering a promising route for the development of advanced pseudocapacitive electrode materials.
