The synthesis of layered nanorod arrays with a core-shell structure is considered to be a viable strategy to improve the electrochemical property of electrode materials. Herein, we have successfully designed and fabricated layered MoO 3 -MnNi LDH@Cu(OH) 2 /CF(MO-MN LDH@COH) core-shell nanorods through a handy in-situ oxidation reaction followed by a hydrothermal synthesis, which consist of ordered Cu(OH) 2 nanorods and ultra-thin MoO 3 -MnNi LDHs nanosheets. The MO-MN LDH@COH which is utilized as the cathode in three electrodes exhibits superior electrochemical property. The specific capacity of prepared electrode is 16913 mF cm À 2 under a current density of 2 mA cm À 2 , which is superior to its counter-
