| Abstract: | To overcome the disadvantages of traditional powder electrodes,such as the insufficient performance,the aggregation of active materials,and the complex fabrication process,rationally constructing free-standing electrode materials with hierarchical architecture is an effective and promising method,which could further improve the electrochemical properties.Herein,using metal-organic framework nanoar-rays (MOFNAs) as self-sacrificial templates and SiC nanowires (SiCNWs) network as nanoscale conductive skeletons,we successfully fabricated the hierarchical core-shell SiCNws@NiCo2O4NAs on carbon cloth (CC)substrate.Taking advantages of structural merits,such as hierarchical porous triangle-like NiCo2O4NAs,the interwoven SiCNWs network and conductive CC substrate,when evaluated as a binder-free superca-pacitor electrode,the CC/SiCNWs@NiCo2O4NAs shows a high specific capacitance of 1604.7 F g-1 (specific capacity of 222.9 mA h g-1) at 0.5 A g 1,good rate performance,and excellent cycling stability.Signifi-cantly,the hybrid supercapacitor assembled with CC/SiCNWs@NiCo2O4NAs as the cathode and MOF derived CC/SiCNWs@CNAs as the anode,could deliver a high specific density of 49.9 W h kg-1 at a specific power of 800 W kg-1,stable cycling performance,and good flexibility.Impressively,this feasible strategy for fabricating hierarchical structure displays great potential in the field of energy storage. |
