“…Figure 3e records a nearly 86.2% capacitive retention for GQDs@LDH-2 electrode after 8000 cycles at a high scan rate of 50 mV s −1 , which is much higher than that of bare NiCo-LDH (67.8%) and other previously reported NiCo-LDH based materials (see in Figure 3f), including CoSx/Ni-Co LDH (nanosheets, 1562 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 76.6% after 5000 cycles), [40] MnO 2 @NiCo-LDH/ CoS 2 (nanocages, 1547 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 82.3% after 2000 cycles), [41] (NiCo-LDH)SHH (micro-flowers, 1765 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 86% after 5000 cycles), [42] CoSx@NiCo-LDH (nanocubes, 1700 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 80% after 3000 cycles), [43] MnO 2 @ NiCo-LDH (core-shell heterostructure, 1287 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 82.3% after 2000 cycles), [44] NiCo-LDH@GNSs (nanoscrolls, 1470 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 81.6% after 1000 cycles), [45] His-GQD/LDH (flower balls, 1372 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 82.3% after 2000 cycles), [46] and Ni-Co LDH/G (honeycomb, 1260 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 76.6% after 5000 cycles). [47] The exceptional cyclic stability of the GQDs@LDH-2 electrode is ascribed to follows:…”
