A metal–organic framework template derived hierarchical Mo-doped LDHs@MOF-Se core–shell array electrode for supercapacitors

Abstract

Herein, we have managed to conceive and fabricate a core–shell structured triangle-like array, where a selenylation-treated MOF array was grown in situ on a conducting substrate as a highly conductive framework to support a high loading of Mo-doped nickel–cobalt LDH nanoflakes. This hierarchical electrode integrates the advantages of a defect-rich electronic state, large active area and rich reaction sites, delivering a high areal capacity of 5.16 C cm⁻² and a high rate capability.
