Hierarchical binder-free NiCoO@CuS composite electrodes have been successfully fabricated on a nickel foam surface using a facile hydrothermal method and directly used as a battery-type electrode material for supercapacitor applications. The surface morphological studies reveal that the composite electrode exhibited porous NiCoO nanograss-like structures with CuS nanostructures. The surface area of the composite is significantly enhanced (91.
