electrodes can be realized via template approach in which MOFs used as precursors or sacrificial templates to fabricate MOF-derived materials, such as porous carbons, [6] metal oxides, [7][8][9] or metal oxidecarbon composites. [10] As well known, the electrolyte ions can easily diffuse through these micro/mesopores MOFs to facilitate expose reactive sites, which is regarded as the originating active centers for the excellent electrochemical performance of MOFs. However, the high temperature treatment will inevitably cause damage to the unique and intricate porous structure and channels of MOFs. In addition, the annealing process is costly and not environmentally benign. Considering the problem of MOF-derived electrodes, many efforts have been devoted into MOFs' direct application as SCs electrodes materials during the last decade. [11][12][13] However, the low electrical conductivity and random orientation of MOFs restrict the straightforward application of pristine MOFs as SCs electrodes. [14,15] Recently, the templatedirected strategy to synthesis MOFs arrays throughout a highly conductive substrate is recognized as one of the most efficient ways to increase the conductivity and shape the orientation. [16] There have been many excellent works reported by us and others, mainly focusing on using metal oxides, hydroxides, carbonated hydroxides as precursors or templates to prepare highly ordered MOFs array on conductive substrates for SCs electrodes. [17,18] Deng and co-workers reported synthesis of vertically oriented CoNi-MOF on carbon fiber paper by using Co(OH) 2 as the template and precursor, and applied them as electrode materials for SCs which shows a high specific capacitance of 1044 F g −1 and excellent rate capability. [17] We had used the vertically oriented Cu(OH) 2 nanorod array on copper foam as template to synthesize highly oriented star anise-like Co doped Cu-MOF/Cu 2+1 O composite electrode, which exhibit an ultrahigh areal capacity of 1.548 F cm −2 , excellent rate capability, and extraordinary cycling stability. [12] However, the above mentioned template-directed strategy of transform various precursors to MOFs has mainly encountered a series of problems due to the limitation of traditional solvothermal methods: [19] 1) It is difficult to completely turn the precursors into MOFs, but resulting the composite of precursors and MOFs with core-shell structure. 2) the MOFs crystallization rates may hardly match the precursors dissolution in organic solvent. 3) The use of organic solvent under solvothermalThe study of metal-organic framework (MOF) as supercapacitor materials has attracted much attention. Here, a novel vapor-phase approach is developed to in situ grow arrays of Cu 2+1 O (Cu 2 O with metal excess defects) @Cu-MOF clusters on copper foam (CF) from the well-aligned Cu(OH) 2 nanorods in response to the exposure in the ligand gas. Benefiting from highly oriented and hierarchical structure of Cu-MOF clusters arrays, synergistic effect between Cu 2+1 O and Cu-MOF, and intimate connection of ...
