Oxygen defects and hollow structures positively impact pseudocapacitive properties of diffusion/surface-controlled processes, a component of critical importance when building high-performance supercapacitors. Hence, we fabricated hollow nickel/cobalt molybdate rods with O-defects (D-H-NiMoO @CoMoO ) through a soft-template and partial reduction method, enhancing D-H-NiMoO @CoMoO 's electrochemical performance, yielding a specific capacitance of 1329 F g , and demonstrating excellent durability with 95.8 % capacity retention after 3000 cycles.

The 3D-H CoWO /NF not only possesses large specific areas and rich active sites, but also accommodates volume expansion/contraction during charge/discharge processes. In addition, the unique structure facilitates fast electron/ion transport of 3D-H CoWO /NF.

However, the tiny specific surface area, poor conductivity and unsatisfactory cycle stability limit their practical application. Hence, a synthetic strategy is designed to fabricate a dual-tasking hollow cube nickel ferrite (NiFeO) - based composite (NiFeO-NiCo-LDH@rGO) with hierarchical structure.

Compound 1 consisted of two-dimensional (2D) lattice structures with free triethylamine (abbreviation, TEA) molecules and HO molecules, and compound 2 showed a 3D host-guest structure, in which 1D polyoxometalate (POM) chains were encapsulated into a 3D Cu(ii)-btx metal-organic framework (MOF). The compound 1-based electrode showed much higher specific capacitance (249.
