Sandwich-like porous MXene/Ni3S4/CuS derived from MOFs as superior supercapacitor electrode.

• Ni-MOF on MXene is vulcanized to sandwiched p-MXene/Ni 3 S 4 /CuS in the presence of copper. • p-MXene/Ni 3 S 4 /CuS show the remarkable specific capacitance. • The p-MXene/Ni 3 S 4 /CuS//AC has a high energy density and ultrahigh cyclic stability. [Display omitted] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have ordered porous structure and intriguing properties for supercapacitors, however, poor conductivity and cycle stability limits their application. To solve these problems, hence, a simple strategy is proposed, by which MOFs are in-situ grown in the porous conductive p-MXene substrate. And then, along with the introduction of CuS, the grown Ni-MOF is derived to Ni 3 S 4 , which is more stable and more electrochemically active. Due to higher contact area, excellent synergistic effect and more exposed active sites, the prepared sandwiched p-MXene@Ni 3 S 4 /CuS nanostructure displays a big specific capacitance (1917 F·g−1) and superior cycling performance (91.2%@30000). What's more, the assembled p-MXene@Ni 3 S 4 /CuS//AC asymmetric device delivers a high energy density of 87.62 Wh·Kg−1 at the power density of 775.02 W·Kg−1, suggesting that this material provides a brilliant candidate for energy storage.
