Binary transition metal oxides exhibit improved properties including good redox potentials and electrical conductivities compared with single metal oxides as electrode materials in energy storage. Herein, ZIF-67 is prepared by a one-step method using Co2+ as the central metal ion, 2-methylimidazole as the organic ligand, and methanol as an organic solvent at room temperature. Hollow NiCo2O4 and sheet-like Co3O4/NiCo2O4 derived from bimetallic imidazolate framework precursors were synthesized by adding cobalt and nickel ions in appropriate proportions. A hollow and porous structure is achieved for the reaction between a nickel salt and ZIF-67, and this unique nanostructure provides a high active surface area, which is beneficial to the electrochemical properties. Several samples are prepared and used as electrode materials for electrochemical tests in 6 M KOH. As a result, the Co3O4/NiCo2O4 electrode with a sheet nanostructure showed a high specific capacitance of 846 F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1. This Co3O4/NiCo2O4 electrode material is promising for future studies on high-performance supercapacitors to solve emerging energy-related problems.

Summary With the rapid development of portable electronic devices, it is strongly urgent to explore the flexible and sustainable supercapacitor with lightweight, large power/energy density, good cycle stability, outstanding coulombic efficiency, and excellent operational safety. Herein, a novel and flexible all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor is assembled from silver (Ag) or/and cobalt acid nickel (NiCo 2 O 4 ) nanoparticles coated with hollow carbon micro-skeleton (HCMS-Ag and HCMS@NiCo 2 O 4 -Ag). The HCMS@NiCo 2 O 4 -Ag electrode is subsequently prepared by a facile hard template combined with hydrothermal method. The morphology analysis shows that plenty of NiCo 2 O 4 nanoflowers composed of a tremendous number of nanoneedles are uniformly grown on the three-dimensional hollow carbon micro-skeleton. This unique and novel structure endows the prepared electrode with a high specific capacitance of 527.4 F g −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 and outstanding rate capability of 75%. The assembled pliable asymmetric supercapacitor possesses a maximum energy density of 42.67 Wh kg −1 , long cycle life (97.4% capacitance retention), and excellent flexibility. Therefore, this work opens new horizon to develop the next-generation carbon composites for flexible all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor with high levels of electrochemical properties.

All-solid-state lithium sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) hold significant promise in the application of high energy density batteries, yet they suffer from poor ionic conductivity, low Li + transference number and unsatisfactory lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) conversion. In this paper, porous-dual-shell structure and heterojunction Co 3 O 4 @NiCo 2 O 4 is prepared and composited with polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) to address these problems. The superimposed electric field for Co 3 O 4 @NiCo 2 O 4 composed of the heterointerfaces -build-in electric field and the surface oxygen-rich vacancies-build-in electric field facilitates the dissociation of Li salts, thus improving the ionic conductivity. It exhibits high ionic conductivity of 1.04 × 10 −3 S/cm and Li + transference number of 0.48 at 60 °C. Besides, the incorporation of Co 3 O 4 @NiCo 2 O 4 heterojunction enables fast LiPSs conversion and improves the electrochemical kinetics. The Li//Li cell can work stably for 1100 h at 0.1 mA/cm 2 . The Li//S cell provides an initial capacity of 1170 mA h/g, a reversible capacity of 620.1mA h/g after 100 cycles and 308.3 mA h/g after 450 cycles at 0.2 C.

Graphical Close to the edge : A Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S/NiCo 2 O 4 p–n heterostructure is synthesized through a hydrothermal method and shows a high photocatalytic H 2 evolution rate of 61159 μmol g −1 h −1 . The band edge position is estimated by the core level alignment method, which affords a deeper understanding of the p–n heterostructure. Photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen evolution is one of the most promising methods to mitigate environmental and energy-related issues. In this study, manganese cadmium sulfide (Mn x Cd 1- x S) solid solution is used to construct a p–n heterostructure with NiCo 2 O 4 through a hydrothermal method. The Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S/NiCo 2 O 4 composites are used for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction, and the optimal hydrogen rate with 40 mg of Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S/NiCo 2 O 4 40 mg (MCS/NCO 40) is 61159 μmol g −1 h −1 , which is about 16.3 times than that of pure Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S. After combining with NiCo 2 O 4 , the light absorption scale, the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, and the reaction kinetics are enhanced. Moreover, the band offset of MCS/NCO composites is calculated by the core level alignment method, demonstrating the formation of a p–n heterostructure. The built-in electric field from the p–n heterostructure drives charge transfer and enhances separation efficiency, which results in improved photocatalytic performance.
