Formation of Graphene-wrapped Multi-shelled NiGaO Hollow Spheres and Graphene-wrapped Yolk-shell NiFeO Hollow Spheres Derived from Metal-organic Frameworks for High-performance Hybrid Supercapacitors

To construct a supercapacitor (SC) with considerable performance, synthesis of an electrode material with a highly porous structure is necessary. Herein, an efficient metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived procedure is offered to construct a graphene wrapped multi-shelled NiGa2O4 hollow sphere (GW-MSNGOHS) positive electrode material and a graphene-wrapped yolk-shell NiFe2O4 hollow sphere (GW-YS-NFOHS) negative electrode material with a highly porous nature in SCs. The GW-MSNGOHS and GW-YS-NFOHS electrodes exhibit excellent capacities (∼411.25 mA h g-1 and 254.25 mA h g-1, respectively, at 1 A g-1), reasonable rate performances (75.85%, and 62.7%, respectively), and outstanding cyclability (98.9% and 90.9%, respectively). Benefiting from the reasonably engineered negative and positive electrodes, the fabricated asymmetric device (GW-MSNGOHS//GW-YS-NFOHS) can show an excellent energy density (ED) of 118.97 W h kg-1 at a power density (PD) of 1702 W kg-1, an exceptional robustness of 92.1%, and an excellent capacity (Cs) of 140.2 mA g-1.
