Abstract

Nickel‑manganese bimetallic phosphides are prepared by phosphidization of MOF-derived bimetallic hydroxides. The bimetallic phosphides exhibit crystalline Ni2P phase, show high specific surface area, and are composed of nanosheets. When supported on carbon cloth (CC) and used as the electrode material in 4 M KOH, the (Ni0.93Mn0.07)2P-18/CC shows a specific capacitance of 851.1C g−1 at 1 A g−1 and maintains 84.87 % capacity after 5000 cycles. The origin of the high specific capacity is investigated, and electron interaction between Mn and Ni sites, the high specific surface area, and the facile ion transport leads to the high specific capacity and stability. The constructed (Ni0.93Mn0.07)2P-18//AC asymmetric supercapacitor has an energy density of 59.83 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 750 W kg−1 and a capacity retention of 95.5 % after 5000 cycles.
