Abstract
The phenomenon of poor cycle stability can be effectively solved by using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as precursor to obtain oxides. In this work, a layered NiO@NiCo2O4 nanocomposite electrodes were designed from bimetallic (Ni/Co) based bimetallic metal–organic framework (Ni/Co-MOF) by simple hydrothermal method followed by subsequent controlled calcination under air atmosphere at various temperatures for the transition process. XRD and FE-SEM studies were substantiating the formation of MOF derived NiO@NiCo2O4 nanocomposite with layered structure. Interestingly, electrochemical studies shows that MOF derived NiO@NiCo2O4 nanocomposite achieved at the calcination temperature at 300 °C and 400 °C demonstrates high specific capacitance of 2461 F/g and 2180 F/g at the current density of 1 A/g, which keeps the precursor Ni/Co-MOF with high specific capacitance peculiarity of 2250 F/g at 2 A/g. In terms of cycle retention rate, the NiO@NiCo2O4 nanocomposite obtained at 400 °C still has a high retention rate of 78% under the current density of 15 A/g for 4500 cycles. It significantly improved the precursor Ni/Co-MOF low cycle retention rate of only 56% after 1000 cycles. The results show that the metal oxide nanocomposites calcined with MOFs as sacrificial template not only retain the high specific capacitance characteristics of MOFs, but also improve its low cycle stability, which has great potential in electrochemical supercapacitor electrode materials and provides a certain useful reference for the direction of global energy demand.
