A CuCo2O4/CuO//RGO/Fe2O3 asymmetric supercapacitor was fabricated and it delivered a high energy density of 33.0 W h kg−1.
New atom substitution in transition metals is a promising strategy for improving the performance of supercapacitors (SCs).
A vertically aligned architecture for an electrode is constructed through physical vapor deposition which benefits the charge transport kinetics and leads to an ultrahigh volumetric capacity for sodium ion batteries.
