Transition metal oxides (TMOs) can serve as advanced electrode materials and have attracted extensive attention in the past decade. Herein, porous FeCo 2 O 4 microspheres (FeCo 2 O 4 MSs) and FeCo 2 O 4 nanosheets (FeCo 2 O 4 NSs) have been successfully synthesized in different solvent systems, accompanied by a corresponding annealing treatment of precursors. The FeCo 2 O 4MSs and NSs possessed a mesoporous structure, and the BET surface areas reached 40.9 and 38.5 m 2 g −1 , respectively. The electrochemical studies were performed in a KOH aqueous electrolyte, and such FeCo 2 O 4 MSs delivered 231.5 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 and exhibited a good long-term cycling performance during 5000 cycles with 71.3% capacity retention. In contrast, the FeCo 2 O 4 NSs delivered a higher capacity of 339.0 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 and exhibited a better rate capability with 73% capacity retention at 13 A g −1 . Furthermore, the assembled FeCo 2 O 4 NSs//AC ASC could preserve 100.5% specific capacity after 5000 cycles and exhibited a high energy density of 37.1 W h kg −1 at 928.0 W kg −1 , while the FeCo 2 O 4 MSs//AC ASC possessed a relatively low energy density with 26.2 W h kg −1 at 965.5 W kg −1 . The outstanding electrochemical behavior of FeCo 2 O 4 NSs and MSs makes them promising electrode materials in electrochemical storage devices. Additionally, this current synthetic strategy possesses some advantages such as simple handling, low maintenance cost, and environmental friendliness; thus, it can be employed for synthesizing other TMOs with superior electrochemical properties.
