Abstract

Abstract In this work, NiMoO 4 hollow nanocubes were first successfully obtained via facile solvothermal and subsequent etching process. Assembling two-dimensional NiMoO 4 nanosheets into the three-dimensional framework based on Cu 2 O nanocubes provided outstanding nanostructure stability and excellent electrochemical property. For example, the as-prepared hollow NiMoO 4 nanocubes exhibited an outstanding capacitance of 1093 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 . In addition, the supercapacitor is composed of hollow NiMoO 4 nanocubes as positive electrode and N-rGO as negative electrode, which showed an outstanding energy density (44.01 Wh kg −1 ) at a power density of 769 W kg −1 in a voltage windows of 0–1.55 V, and even maintained an energy density (23.68 Wh kg −1 ) at a high power density (7.7 kW kg −1 ). Furthermore, the device delivered a promising long-term cyclic performance of 84.7% capacitance retention after 5000 charge–discharge cycles.
