Description
Summary:The Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanowire@NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanosheet hierarchical array was constructed on Ni foam using hydrothermal and annealing approaches in turn, from which a NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanosheet could self-assemble on the Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanowire. The structure and morphology of the Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanowire@NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanosheet hierarchical array were characterized via XRD, EDS, SEM, and FESEM, respectively. The electrochemical performance of the composite array was measured via a cyclic voltammetry curve, galvanostatic current charge–discharge, charge–discharge cycle, and electrochemical impedance and then compared with the Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanowire. The results show that the Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanowire@NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanosheet hierarchical array could reach a high value of 2034 F g<sup>−1</sup> at a current density of 2.5 A g<sup>−1</sup>. After 5000 galvanostatic charge–discharge cycles, the specific capacitance of the Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanowire@NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanosheet hierarchical array could still maintain 94.7% of the original value. Therefore, the Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanowire@NiCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanosheet hierarchical array would be a desirable electrode material for a high-performance supercapacitor.
