title: Construction of leaf-like CuO-Cu2O nanocomposites on copper foam for high-performance supercapacitors.
abstract: Leaf-like CuO-Cu2O nanosheets have been prepared on copper foam by a one-step simple anodization method, which can be used as an advanced binder-free supercapacitor electrode. The performance of the CuO-Cu2O/Cu foam electrode was optimized through controlling and restraining the current density and reaction time. The prepared electrode exhibits a very high specific capacitance (1.954 F cm-2at a scan rate of 2 mV s-1), excellent durability (120% retention after 5000 cycles), remarkable rate capability (91.8% retention upon increasing the current density by 10 times) and good coulombic efficiency (78.2% at a current density of 2 mA cm-2). The facile and cost-effective fabrication process is also suitable for large scale practical production. These results indicate the leaf-like CuO-Cu2O/Cu foam electrode would be a promising electrode for high-performance supercapacitor applications.
