Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been considered as one of the most promising electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors due to their large specific surface area and abundant pore structure. Herein, we report a Co-MOF electrode with a vertical-standing 2D parallelogram-like nanoarray structure on a Ni foam substrate via a one-step solvothermal method. The as-prepared Co-MOF on a Ni foam electrode delivered a high area-specific capacitance of 582.0 mC cm−2 at a current density of 2 mA cm−2 and a good performance rate of 350.0 mC cm−2 at 50 mA cm−2. Moreover, an asymmetric electrochemical capacitor (AEC) device (Co-MOF on Ni foam//AC) was assembled by using the as-prepared Co-MOF on a Ni foam as the cathode and a active carbon-coated Ni foam as the anode to achieve a maximum energy density of 0.082 mW cm−2 at a power density of 0.8 mW cm−2, which still maintained 0.065 mW cm−2 at a high power density of 11.94 mW cm−2. Meanwhile, our assembled device exhibited an excellent cycling stability with a capacitance retention of nearly 100% after 1000 cycles. Therefore, this work provides a simple method to prepare MOF-based material for the application of energy storage and conversion.

Abstract Constructing a novel nanocomposite structure based on Co3O4 is of the current interest to design and develop efficient electrochemical capacitors. The capacitive performance of MoO3@Co3O4 nanocomposite is compared with pristine Co3O4 nanoparticles, both of them being synthesized by hydrothermal technique. A BET surface area of ~41 m2g-1 (almost twice that of Co3O4 )and average pore size of 3.6 nm is found to be suitable for promoting Faradaic reactions in the nanocomposite. Electrochemical measurements conducted on both samples predict capacitive behavior with quasi-reversible redox reactions. MoO3@Co3O4 nanocomposite is capable of delivering a superior specific capacitance of 1248 Fg-1 at 0.5 Ag-1 along with notable stability of 92% even after 2000 cycles of charge-discharge and Coulombic efficiency approaching 100% at 10 Ag-1. The outstanding results obtained in this work assure functional adequacy of MoO3@Co3O4 nanocomposite in fabricating high-performance electrochemical capacitors.
