Abstract

Large mass-loading for a practical supercapacitor-electrode usually leads to inferior charge transfer rate and thus poor utilization efficiency of electroactive materials. Therefore, it is a long-time target for material scientists to create an ideal electrode material that can achieve not only a large mass-loading but also a high utilization efficiency for efficient supercapacitors. In this seminar, the synthesis of superstructured NiMoO₄@CoMoO₄ core-shell nanofiber arrays on Mo-transition-layer-modified nickel foam current collector will be demonstrated, which realized superior charge transfer efficiency at high mass-loading of electroactive materials and thus ultrahigh areal capacitances.
