Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are promising electrode materials for advanced electrochemical energy storage (EES) due to their high theoretical capacities, but they usually exhibit quite poor practical performance. There is a pressing need to boost their EES performance by electrode engineering directed with a well-defined structure–performance relationship. Herein, we report an efficient approach to improve the specific capacitance and high-rate capability of spinel nickel cobaltite by constructing three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous mesostructures. The optimal Ni1.4Co1.6O4 mesostructures assembled from ultrathin nanosheets exhibit high capacitance (2282 F g–1 at 1 A g–1), excellent high-rate capability (1234 F g–1 at 50 A g–1) and good cycling performance, which are significantly superior to the Co3O4 mesostructure counterparts, Ni1.4Co1.6O4 mesostructures assembled from nanowires, and randomly packed Ni1.4Co1.6O4 nanosheets. The excellent performance is attributed to the stable hierarchical por...
