Transition-metal
phosphates/phosphides, as an emerging kind of prominent electroactive
material, have drawn extensive attention in the fields of energy conversion
and storage owing to their high electrical conductivity and metal-like
properties. Herein, we report the preparation of hierarchical Ni–Co–P/PO
x
/C nanosheets in a controllable manner using
nickel–cobalt metal–organic framework (NiCo-MOF) as
the precursor, followed by a low-temperature phosphating method. Electrochemical
studies show that the Ni–Co–P/PO
x
/C nanosheets exhibit good reversible capacity and excellent
rate capability and possess capacities of 583 and 365.7 C g–1 at 1 and 30 A g–1, respectively. Furthermore,
a two-electrode device assembled by Ni–Co–P/PO
x
/C and reduced graphene oxide shows a peak energy
density of 37.59 Wh kg–1 at a power density of 800
W kg–1 and a stable capacitive performance. These
results indicate that the obtained bimetallic Ni–Co–P/C
is a promising anode material for capacitive energy storage devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
