In this work, a series of Co3 O4 -doped 3 D MXene/RGO hybrid porous aerogels is designed and prepared through a facile in situ reduction and thermal annealing process, in which the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) conductive network can electrically link the separated Co3 O4 -MXene composite nanosheets, leading to enhanced electronic conductivity. It is found that upon using the Co3 O4 -MXene/RGO hybrid porous aerogel prepared with a mass ratio of Co3 O4 -MXene/RGO of 3:1 (CMR31) as an electrode for a supercapacitor, a superior specific capacitance of 345 F g-1 at the current density of 1 A g-1 is achieved, which is significantly higher than those of Ti3 C2 Tx MXene, RGO, and MXene/RGO electrodes. In addition, a high capacitance retention (85 % of the initial capacitance after 10 000 cycles at a high current density of 3 A g-1 ) and a low internal resistance Rs (0.44 Ω) can be achieved. An all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device is assembled using CMR31, and it has the ability to light up a blue LED indicator for 5 min if four ASCs are connected in series. Therefore, these novel Co3 O4 -MXene/RGO hybrid porous aerogels have potential practical applications in high-energy storage devices.
