traditional battery systems. [10,11] Practically, lower energy density bounds the applicability of supercapacitors over battery systems, leaving more room in developing high energy density supercapacitors without having to compromise the power competence. [12-14] A well-known approach offering such outstanding energy density is via fabrication of asymmetric supercapacitor device that focusses on the positive materials excellency exhibiting high specific capacitance and providing a broad potential window when combined with a double-layer type negative electrode material. [15-17] Co 3 O 4 , a pseudocapacitive metal oxide, belonging to the family of spinel is a promising positive active material in electrochemical energy storage devices owing to its high specific capacitance (3560 F g −1) theoretically with being earthabundant, cost-effective, and also environment friendly. [18-20] Pseudocapacitors follow faradaic redox electrochemical reactions on the material's surface through continuous intercalation/deintercalation of electrons or ions which makes the surface vulnerable to destruction resulting in lower efficiency of the electroactive material affecting the electrochemical cycles. [21-23] Therefore, much effort has been put forward to increase the efficiency and stability of the Co 3 O 4 structures through nanostructured, [18] heterostructured, [24,25] and core-shell type structures [26] to reduce the structural deterioration from Co 3 O 4 and increase the overall specific capacitances. For instance, a 3D hierarchical structure of CoWO 4 /Co 3 O 4 was developed that exhibited significantly high specific capacitance of 1728 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 retaining about 85.9% specific capacitance after 5000 cycles. [27] Paliwal and Meher design a heterostructure of Co 3 O 4 /NiCo 2 O 4 perforated nanosheets that delivers specific capacitance of 1767 F g −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 maintaining 552 F g −1 capacitance at high current density 16 A g −1. Additionally, the asymmetric device composed of Co 3 O 4 /NiCo 2 O 4 ||N-rGO retains 93.8% areal capacitance after 10 000 operating cycles. [28] An excellent core-shell type CoO@Co 3 O 4 nanocrystals were grown solvothermally which delivered 3377 F g −1 specific capacitance at current density 2 A g −1 and the capacity retention was about 58.6% after 4000 charge-discharge cycles. [29] Lu et al. reported Co 3 O 4 /CoS core-shell nanosheets grown over Ni-foam by room temperature sulfurization process. The structure showed an improved specific capacitance as high as 1658 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 Designing of multicomponent transition metal oxide system through the employment of advanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique over nanostructures obtained from wet chemical process is a novel approach to construct rational supercapacitor electrodes. Following the strategy, core-shell type NiO/Co 3 O 4 nanocone array structures are architectured over Ni-foam (NF) substrate. The high-aspect-ratio Co 3 O 4 nanocones are hydrothermally grown over NF following the p...
