The amino-functionalized bimetal
NH2-NiCo-MOF nanosheet
array is first fabricated on Ni foam substrates and then controllably
transformed into oxygen vacancy bimetal oxide arrays by simply thermal
annealing in air. This NiCo-based oxide array (Ni
x
Co3–x
O4/NF) achieves
high capacitance (2484 F g–1 at 1 A g–1), excellent rate performance (91.4%), and long cycling life when
assessed as promising electrode material for supercapacitors. Notably,
the existing oxygen vacancy in Ni
x
Co3–x
O4 promotes the electrochemical
performance of Ni
x
Co3–x
O4/NF due to the enhancement of electrical
conductivity and capture capability for OH–. In
addition, the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device exhibits
an excellent energy density of 39.3 W h kg–1 at
a power density of 800.2 W kg–1, which still remains
32.2 W h kg–1 even at a high power density of 7994.5
W kg–1. Furthermore, a light-emitting diode can
be lightened for more than 6 min, demonstrating a great potential
for practical application of ASC devices. This work knocks on the
door of a feasible strategy for designing and synthesizing 2D metal
oxide nanosheet arrays with excellent electrochemical properties.
