Designing electrode materials with high performance and maximum utilization is of great desire for supercapacitors, which highly depend on the intrinsic electrochemical properties and the optimal frameworks of the electrode materials. The hierarchical core-shell structure with various types of pores can make the most of the electrode material due to the easy access of electrolyte into the interior electrode and large exposure of electrode into the electrolyte. In this work, nickel hydroxide@nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (Ni(OH)@NHCSs) electrode material with a hierarchical core-shell structure was obtained using a hard template and the following chemical-precipitation method. Ni(OH)@NHCSs electrode displays an excellent specific capacity of 214.8 mA h g (that is 1546.6 F g), higher than the Ni(OH) counterpart (108.9 mA h g, that is 784.1 F g) at 1 A g in 2 M KOH electrolyte. The assembled Ni(OH)@NHCSs||NHCSs hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) delivers an energy density of 37.5 W h kg at 800.0 W kg and an outstanding stability with 79.2% of retention rate for 10,000 cycles at a current density of 8 A g. The Ni(OH)@NHCSs electrode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance primarily contributed by its unique hierarchical core-shell structure, high specific surface area and enhanced electrical conductivity.

The rational design of efficient electrocatalysts with controllable structure and composition is crucial for enhancing the lifetime and cost-effectiveness of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). PtCo nanocrystals have gained attention due to their exceptional activity, yet suffer from stability issues in acidic media. Herein, an active and highly stable electrocatalyst is developed, namely 3D PtCo@Pt core-shell nanodendrites (NDs), which are formed through the self-assembly of small Pt nanoparticles (≈6 nm).

The rational design of advanced oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts is essential to improve the performance of energy conversion devices. However, it remains a huge challenge to construct hierarchical micro-/meso-/macroporous nanostructures, especially mesoporous transport channels in catalysts, to enhance catalytic capability. Herein, motivated by the characteristics of energetic metal-organic frameworks (EMOFs) that produce an abundance of gases during high-temperature pyrolysis, we prepared a unique tetrazine-based EMOF-derived electrocatalyst (denoted as FeC@NSC-900) consisting of highly dispersed FeC nanoparticles and N,S-codoped mesoporous carbon nanotubes.

The ability to tailor surface area, porosity, and morphologies has driven extensive research into the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks derived carbons and their applications in energy storage. This study presents the development of three-dimensional hierarchically porous carbon derived from polystyrene and small-sized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) particles. Incorporating nanometer-sized ZIF-8 particles forms a core-shell structure in the pre-carbonization stage, transforming into a porous carbon material with a range of pores from micro to macropores after carbonization.
