Fabrication of binary metal–organic frameworks of Ni–Mn@ZIFs(Cox·Zn1−xO) decorated on CF/CuO nanowire for high-performance electrochemical pseudocapacitors

Abstract

Abstract Herein, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) derived nanoflower-like based binary transition metal (Ni–Mn) are successfully fabricated by a simple synthesis method. The fabricated nanoflower-like structure displays a unique nanoflower-like architecture and internal porous channels constructed by MOF coated on CuO/CF/ZIFs (Cox·Zn1−xO) substrate, which is beneficial for the penetration of electrolyte and electron/ion transportation. The as-prepared CF/CuO/ZIFs (Cox·Zn1−xO)@BMOF(Ni–Mn) electrode materials present significant synergy among transition metal ions, contributing to enhanced electrochemical performances. The as-prepared CF/CuO/ZIFs (Cox·Zn1−xO)@BMOF(Ni–Mn) hybrid nanoflower-like display a high specific capacity of 1249.99 C g−1 at 1 A g−1 and the specific capacitance retention is about 91.74% after 5000 cycles. In addition, the as-assembled CF/CuO/ZIFs (Cox·Zn1−xO)@BMOF(Ni–Mn)//AC asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device exhibited a maximum energy density of 21.77 Wh·kg−1 at a power density of 799 W kg−1, and the capacity retention rate after 5000 charge and discharge cycles was 88.52%.
