Honeycomb-like CO3O4 nanosheets with high specific surface area were successfully synthesized on porous nickel foam by the facile hydrothermal method followed by an annealing treatment (300 °C), which were used as high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. The effects of mole ratio of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) and Co(NO3)2 (1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1 and 6:1)as the reactants on morphological evolution and electrochemical performance of the electrodes were investigated in detail. X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were applied to characterize the structure and morphology of the products. The electrochemical performance was measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge/discharge. The results indicated that phase constituents were almost unaffected with the change in mole ratio of HMT and Co(NO3)2. However, the significant morphological evolution of Co3O4 was observed with increasing the mole ratio, which was described as followed: the nanosheets accompanied with a large number of spherical nanoparticles→the formation of some strip-like particles due to the agglomeration of spherical nanoparticles→the formation of new nanosheets resulting from the growth of strip-like particles→the formation of coarse flower-like particles owing to the connection among the nanosheets→the nanosheets gradually covered with flower-like particles. Accompanied with the change, the specific surface area was increased firstly, and then decreased. A maximum was obtained in the HMT and Co(NO3)2 mole ratio of 4:1, which was further validated by CV and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests. The specific capacitance value was 743.00 F·g-1 at 1 A·g-1 in the galvanostatic charge/discharge test, which was apparently higher than those in the other mole ratios (139.11 F·g-1 in 1:1, 280.46 F·g-1 in 2:1, 503.29 F·g-1 in 3:1, 463.75 F·g-1 in 5:1 and 363.74 F·g-1 in 6:1). The change was also observed in the CV test with a scanning rate of 5 mV·s-1 (121.32 F·g-1 in 1:1, 217.33 F·g-1 in 2:1, 559.86 F·g-1 in 3:1, 693.56 F·g-1 in 4:1, 423.35 F·g-1 in 5:1 and 321.64 F·g-1 in 6:1). Co3O4 synthesized in the mole ratio of 4:1 also demonstrated an excellent cyclic performance, in which about 97% of the initial specific capacitance was remained at 1 A·g-1 for 500 cycles in the galvanostatic charge/discharge test. This excellent electrochemical performance was ascribed to high specific surface area of Co3O4 nanosheets that provide enough channels and space for ions transportion.

The ZnCo2O4 nanorods and nanosheets were grown on nickel foam by a facile and effective hydrothermal method, respectively. The effect of the morphologies of the nanostructures on electrochemical performance was investigated. Importantly, ZnCo2O4 nanorod electrodes with a high specific surface area exhibited a higher specific capacitance of 2457.4 F g[Formula: see text] at 2 A g[Formula: see text] and remarkable cycling stability with capacitance retention of 97.7% after 1000 cycles, which are superior to those of ZnCo2O4 nanosheet electrodes. Such a result is well explained. The investigation on the electrochemical properties of these two nanostructures as electrodes confirmed that the morphology of active materials has an important impact on electrochemical properties.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) present excellent mechanical properties. However, the exploitation of chemical properties of HEAs is far less than that of mechanical properties, which is mainly limited by the low specific surface area of HEAs synthesized by traditional methods. Thus, it is vital to develop new routes to fabricate HEAs with novel three-dimensional structures and a high specific surface area. Herein, we develop a facile approach to fabricate nanoporous noble metal quasi-HEA microspheres by melt-spinning and dealloying. The as-obtained nanoporous Cu30Au23Pt22Pd25 quasi-HEA microspheres present a hierarchical porous structure with a high specific surface area of 69.5 m2/g and a multiphase approximatively componential solid solution characteristic with a broad single-group face-centered cubic XRD pattern, which is different from the traditional single-phase or two-phase solid solution HEAs. To differentiate, these are named quasi-HEAs. The synthetic strategy proposed in this paper opens the door for the synthesis of porous quasi-HEAs related materials, and is expected to promote further applications of quasi-HEAs in various chemical fields.
