The development of a MOFs-derived multilevel hierarchy in a single step still remains a challenging task. Herein, we have synthesized novel Cu-MOF via a slow diffusion method at ambient temperature and further utilized it as a precursor source for MOF-derived multilevel hierarchy (Cu/Cu x O@NC, x = 1 and 2). This studies suggest that the organic ligands served as a source of an N-doped carbon matrix encapsulated with metal oxide nanoparticles which were confirmed by various characterization techniques; further BET analysis reveals a surface area of 178.46 m2/g. The synthesized multilevel hierarchy was utilized as an electro-active material in a supercapacitor that achieved a specific capacitance of 546.6 F g–1 at a current density of 1 A g–1 with a higher cyclic retention of 91.81% after 10 000 GCD cycles. Furthermore, the ASC device was fabricated using Cu/Cu x O@NC as the positive electrode and carbon black as the negative electrode and utilized to enlighten the commercially available LED bulb. The fabricated ASC device was further employed for a two-electrode study which achieved a specific capacitance of 68 F g–1 along with a comparable energy density of 13.6 Wh kg–1. Furthermore, the electrode material was also explored for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline medium with a low overpotential of 170 mV along with a Tafel slope of 95 mV dec–1 having long-term stability. The MOF-derived material has high durability, chemical stability, and efficient electrochemical performance. This work provides some new thoughts for the design and preparation of a multilevel hierarchy (Cu/Cu x O@NC) via a single precursor source in a single step and explored multifunctional applications in energy storage and an energy conversion system.

Bimetallic materials show superior properties over monometallic systems due to their synergistic effect. Herein, bimetallic CoNi nanoflowers are synthesized by a simple method and characterized via various characterization techniques such as powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy, high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, etc. PXRD results confirm the formation of face‐centered cubic CoNi nanoflowers and morphological studies confirm the flower‐like structure of CoNi. Bimetallic CoNi nanoflowers utilized for supercapacitor applications and the effect of electrolyte cations (K+, Na+, Li+) are studied. The results reveal that LiOH shows excellent capacitance of 729.52 F g−1 (66.83 mAh g−1) at 1 A g−1. The cyclic stability of CoNi nanoflower is estimated as ≈100% after 10 000 cycles which signifies the exceptional long‐term utility of the electrode for practical application. Further, the asymmetric device is fabricated which shows the capacitance of 66.61 F g−1 and the commercial light‐emitting diode (1.8 V) delivers high energy density and power density, that is, 18.13 Wh kg−1 at 699.84 W kg−1. The nanoflower exhibits battery–supercapacitor‐type behavior with rapid charge/discharge capability with a binder‐free and additive‐free approach.
