Abstract

In order to enhance the electrochemical efficiency of supercapacitors, novel active electrode materials are being developed. This study provides a unique method to synthesize an integrated structure consisting of a nickel-cobalt metal-organic framework (NiCo-MOF) on functionalized carbon nanofiber (f-CNF) utilizing a single-step solvothermal method. Physicochemical characterization confirmed the successful synthesis of the integrated system of NiCo-MOF@f-CNF. This novel structure has the potential to significantly improve the electrochemical properties of the initially prepared material for use in supercapacitors. The synthesized electrode has a higher specific capacitance/capacity value of 788 F g−1 (315.2 C g−1) at 1 A g−1 and high cycling stability. The developed hybrid device exhibited a promising specific energy of 8.6 Wh kg−1 and a high specific power of 1147 W kg−1, demonstrating potential for practical applications. The current study suggests that the proposed material can be a viable electrode for high-efficiency supercapacitors.
