Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with two dimensional (2D) nanosheets have attracted special attention for supercapacitor application due to their exceptional large surface area and high surface-to-volume atom ratios. However, their electrochemical performance is greatly hindered by their poor electrical conductivity. Herein, we report a 2D nanosheet nickel cobalt based MOF (NiCo-MOF)/reduced graphene oxide heterostructure as an electrode material for supercapacitors.

However, the stacking of graphene sheets and agglomeration of transition metal parts are still challenging issues to overcome in order to achieve the expected theoretical performances. Herein, a reduced graphene oxide/cobalt disulphide porous nanoparticle hybrid electrode material is fabricated using sulphur as the template precursor.

In this work, we focused on the role of SiO dielectric layer on PIH, where G-FETs have only a SiO dielectric layer. Adsorbates are effectively removed before the PIH test.

This core/shell is composited of NiCoS nanotube (NCS) as core and CoNiS (CNS) nanosheets as a shell. The as-synthesized composite exhibits excellent electrochemical properties by using the advantage of NCS nanontube core as superhighway for electron and ion transport, and CNS nanosheets shell as high active area pseudocapacitive material.
