The electrode materials are obtained by a simple in situ oxidation reaction and a hydrothermal strategy. The as-obtained Cu(OH)2@ZnNi-Co2(CO3)(OH)2 electrode exhibits significantly enhanced electrochemical performance with a high specific capacitance (2746 F g−1 at 1 A g−1), and extraordinary cycling stability (maintained 95.61% of the initial capacitance after 6000 cycles at 20 A g−1), which are much superior to those of Cu(OH)2, Cu(OH)2@ Co2(CO3)(OH)2, Cu(OH)2@Ni-Co2(CO3)(OH)2, and bare ZnNi-Co2(CO3)(OH)2 nanospheres electrodes. Additionally, the Cu(OH)2@ZnNi-Co2(CO3)(OH)2 nanorods array can also be utilized as the positive electrode to fabricate an asymmetric supercapacitor device with an active carbon negative electrode, realizing a high cell voltage of 1.5 V and the energy density of up to 34.75Wh kg−1 at a power density of 375 W kg−1. The excellent electrochemical properties can be credited to the three-dimensional hierarchical core-shell architecture.
