Metal-organic frameworks derived low-crystalline NiCo2S4/Co3S4 nanocages with dual heterogeneous interfaces for high-performance supercapacitors

Nickel cobalt bimetallic heterogeneous sulfides are attractive battery-type materials for electrochemi-cal energy storage.However,the precise synthesis of electrode materials that integrate highly efficient ions/electrons diffusion with abundant charge transfer channels has always been challenging.Herein,an effective and concise controllable hydrothermal approach is reported for tuning the crystalline and integrated structures of MOF-derived bimetallic sulfides to accelerate the charge transfer kinetics,and thus enabling rich Faradaic redox reaction.The as-obtained low-crystalline heterogeneous NiCo2S4/Co3S4 nanocages exhibit a high specific capacity(1023 C/g at 1 A/g),remarkable rate performance(560 C/g at 10 A/g),and outstanding cycling stability(89.6％retention after 5000 cycles).Furthermore,hybrid superca-pacitors fabricated with NiCo2S4/Co3S4 and nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide display an outstand-ing energy density of 40.8 Wh/kg at a power density of 806.3 W/kg,with an excellent capacity retention of 88.3％after 10000 charge-discharge cycles.
