We report the facile preparation of nitrogen‐doped mesoporous hollow carbon nanospheres (N‐MHCNS) by directly carbonizing hollow polypyrrole nanospheres that are derived from in situ polymerization. Here, we use a novel soft template (PMMA‐PBMA‐PMAA) as the core. At 700 °C, the obtained N‐MHCNSs (denoted N‐MHCNS700) show superior electrochemical performance. In 1 M HCl electrolyte, N‐MHCNS700 exhibits a capacitance as high as 275.5 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1 and a high rate capability, retaining 54.4 % of the initial capacitance at the current density of 20 A g−1. In addition, the specific capacitance of N‐MHCNS700 is approximately 100 % retained at a current density of 10 A g−1 after 5000 cycles, indicating amazing stable cycling performance. The excellent electrochemical performance can be derived from the amorphous graphitic carbon, hollow nanosphere structure, mesoporous properties, and nitrogen doping effect.
Highly performance composite material nitrogen-doped mesoporous hollow carbon nanospheres and Ni-Co coordination polymer metal precursor (N-MHCNS700@Ni-Co-MOF) obtained by using hydrothermal reaction Ni-Co coordination polymer metal precursor to assist hollow carbon nanospheres as templates. Then the composite material (N-MHCNS700@Ni-Co-MOF) is calcined under nitrogen to obtain nitrogen-doped mesoporous hollow carbon nanospheres and nickel cobalt metal oxide (N-MHCNS700@NiCo 2 O 4 ). Material characterization is used to analyze the morphology and structure of the material. The hybrid materials exhibit high specific capacitance (166 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 ) and great cyclic stability (approximately 85.6% retained after 5,000 cycles at 10 A g −1 ). The composite material also have outstanding power density of composite (624.9 W kg −1 ) and the energy density (42.8 Wh kg −1 ). Therefore, composite materials can be applied to electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitor.
