To fabricate battery‐like supercapacitors with high power and energy densities, big capacitances, as well as long‐term capacitance retention, vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (CNFs) grown on boron doped diamond (BDD) films are employed as the capacitor electrodes. They possess large surface areas, high conductivity, high stability, and importantly are free of binder. The large surface areas result from their porous structures. The containment of graphene layers and copper metal catalysts inside CNFs leads to their high conductivity. Both electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) in inert solutions and pseudocapacitors (PCs) using Fe(CN)₆^3?/4? redox‐active electrolytes are constructed with three‐ and two‐electrode systems. The assembled two‐electrode symmetrical supercapacitor devices exhibit capacitances of 30 and 48 mF cm^?2 at 10 mV s^?1 for EDLC and PC devices, respectively.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising cathode materials for supercapacitors because of the enhanced flow efficiency of ions in the interlayers. However, the limited active sites and monotonous metal species further hinder the improvement of the capacity performance. Herein, cobalt sulfide quantum dots (Co₉S₈‐QDs) are effectively created and embedded within the interlayer of metal‐organic‐frameworks‐derived ternary metal LDH nanosheets based on in situ selective vulcanization of Co on carbon fibers.

Significantly, the selectively generated Co₉S₈‐QDs expose more abundant active sites, effectively improving the electrochemical properties, such as capacitive performance, electronic conductivity, and cycling stability. Due to the synergistic relationship, the hybrid material delivers an ultrahigh electrochemical capacity of 350.6 mAh g^?1 (2504 F g^?1) at 1 A g^?1. Furthermore, hybrid supercapacitors fabricated with CF@NiCoZn‐LDH/Co₉S₈‐QD and carbon nanosheets modified by single‐walled carbon nanotubes display an outstanding energy density of 56.4 Wh kg^?1 at a power density of 875 W kg^?1, with an excellent capacity retention of 95.3% after 8000 charge–discharge cycles. Therefore, constructing hybrid electrode materials by in situ‐created QDs in multimetallic LDHs is promising.     

Conductive Metal–Organic Frameworks Selectively Grown on Laser‐Scribed Graphene for Electrochemical Microsupercapacitors

Conductive 2D metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have merits beyond traditional MOFs for electrochemical applications, but reports on using MOFs as electrodes for electrochemical microsupercapacitors (MSCs) are practically non‐existent. In this work, a Ni‐catecholate‐based MOF (Ni‐CAT MOF) having good conductivity and exhibiting redox chemistry in the positive and negative voltage windows is developed. A novel process is developed to selectively grow the conductive Ni‐CAT MOF on 3D laser scribed graphene (LSG). The LSG with its superior wettability serves as a functional matrix‐current collector for the hybridization of conductive Ni‐CAT MOF nanocrystals. Impressively, MSCs fabricated using the hybrid LSG/Ni‐CAT MOF show significant improvement compared with MOF‐free LSG electrodes.

To construct SCs with ultrahigh energy densities, a porous titanium carbide (TiC)/boron‐doped diamond (BDD) composite electrode is synthesized on a titanium plate that is pretreated using a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technique. The porous and nanometer‐thick TiO₂ layer formed during PEO process prevents the formation of brittle titanium hydride and enhances the BDD growth during chemical vapor deposition processes. Meanwhile, the in situ conversion of TiO₂ into TiC is achieved. Combination of this capacitor electrode with soluble redox electrolytes leads to the fabrication of high‐performance SCs in both aqueous and organic solutions. In 0.05 m Fe(CN)₆^3?/4? + 1 m Na₂SO₄ aqueous solution, the capacitance is as high as 46.3 mF cm^?2 at a current density of 1 mA cm^?2; this capacitance remains 92% of its initial value even after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles; the energy density is up to 47.4 Wh kg^?1 at a power density of 2236 W kg^?1. The performance of constructed SCs is superior to most available SCs and some electrochemical energy storage devices like batteries. Such a porous capacitor electrode is thus promising for the construction of high‐performance SCs for practical applications.
