Hierarchical NiMoO4/NiMoO4 nanoflowers were fabricated on highly conductive flexible nickel foam (NF) substrates using a facile hydrothermal method to achieve rapid charge-discharge ability, high energy density, long cycling lifespan, and higher flexibility for high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials. The synthesized composite electrode material, NF/NiMoO4/NiMoO4 with a nanoball-like NF/NiMoO4 structure on a NiMoO4 surface over a NF substrate, formed a three-dimensional interconnected porous network for high-performance electrodes. The novel NF/NiMoO4/NiMoO4 nanoflowers not only enhanced the large surface area and increased the electrochemical activity, but also provided an enhanced rapid ion diffusion path and reduced the charge transfer resistance of the entire electrode effectively. The NF/NiMoO4/NiMoO4 composite exhibited significantly improved supercapacitor performance in terms of a sustained cycling life, high specific capacitance, rapid charge-discharge capability, high energy density, and good rate capability. Electrochemical analysis of the NF/NiMoO4/NiMoO4 nanoflowers fabricated on the NF substrate revealed ultra-high electrochemical performance with a high specific capacitance of 2121 F g−1 at 12 mA g−1 in a 3 M KOH electrolyte and 98.7% capacitance retention after 3000 cycles at 14 mA g−1. This performance was superior to the NF/NiMoO4 nanoball electrode (1672 F g−1 at 12 mA g−1 and capacitance retention 93.4% cycles). Most importantly, the SC (NF/NiMoO4/NiMoO4) device displayed a maximum energy density of 47.13 W h kg−1, which was significantly higher than that of NF/NiMoO4 (37.1 W h kg−1). Overall, the NF/NiMoO4/NiMoO4 composite is a suitable material for supercapacitor applications.

NiCo2S4/CNTs (NCS/CNTs) hybrid nanostructures have been synthesized by a facile one-step solvothermal method with varying content of CNTs. The structure and morphology of the synthesized NCS/CNTs hybrid revealed the formation of platelets anchored on the CNT matrix. When evaluated as electrode materials for supercapacitor, the as-synthesized NCS/CNT-1 hybrid (with 1% of CNT) manifested remarkable specific capacitance of 1690[Formula: see text]F[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at the current density of 5[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]. More importantly, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) assembled based on NCS/CNT-1 as positive electrode and carbon nanotube paper (CNP) as a negative electrode delivered high energy density of 58[Formula: see text]Wh[Formula: see text]kg[Formula: see text] under power density of 8[Formula: see text]kW[Formula: see text]kg[Formula: see text]. Furthermore, the ASC device exhibited high cycling stability and 77.7% of initial specific capacitance retention after 7000 charge–discharge cycles at a current density of 8[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]. The large enhancement in the electrochemical performance is attributed to the benefits of the nanostructured architecture, including good mechanical stability, high electrical conductivity as well as buffering for the volume changes during charge–discharge process. These convincing results show that NCS/CNTs hybrid nanostructures are promising electrode materials for high energy density supercapacitors (SCs).

The electrochemical performance of an energy conversion and storage device like the supercapacitor mainly depends on the microstructure and morphology of the electrodes. In this paper, to improve the capacitance performance of the supercapacitor, the all-pseudocapacitive electrodes of lamella-like Bi 18 SeO 29 /BiSe as the negative electrode and flower-like Co 0.85 Se nanosheets as the positive electrode are synthesized by using a facile low-temperature one-step hydrothermal method. The microstructures and morphology of the electrode materials are carefully characterized, and the capacitance performances are also tested. The Bi 18 SeO 29 /BiSe and Co 0.85 Se have high specific capacitance (471.3 F g –1 and 255 F g –1 at 0.5 A g –1 ), high conductivity, outstanding cycling stability, as well as good rate capability. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor completely based on the pseudocapacitive electrodes exhibits outstanding cycling stability (about 93% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles). Moreover, the devices exhibit high energy density of 24.2 Wh kg –1 at a power density of 871.2 W kg –1 in the voltage window of 0–1.6 V with 2 M KOH solution.
