• MOF-derived NiCo 2 O 4 encased graphene HNSs composite was synthesized by probe sonication method. • Acoustic formation via probe sonication competently provides high surface area of these nanocomposite. • The proposed high capacity heteronanosheets composite electrode can be used as battery-type materials. Metal-organic frameworks derived materials have been explored as advanced energy storage materials in high power-energy applications. In this work, ZIF-67 and graphene oxide template-derived NiCo 2 O 4 nanosheets is synthesized by the ultrasonication method. A simple and novel approach is proposed to get NiCo 2 O 4 nanosheets. From the probe sonication method, multi-nanosheets structure, i.e., NiCo 2 O 4 nanosheets/graphene nanosheets, based composite electrode material was prepared and fabricated into supercapacitor application to achieved a high specific capacitance of ca . 1365 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and excellent capacity retention of 89.11% over 2000 cycles at 10 A g −1 . The proposed composite electrode could also be performed as a high-capacity battery-type anode material in other energy storage applications.
