In this work, we report an electrochemical co-deposition of binary metallic manganese-cobalt sulfides with tailored molar ratio of Mn and Co ions on Ni-foam substrates, which show 3-dimensinal (3D) hierarchical porous structure. Benefiting from synergistic effect and dual energy storage mechanism of manganese sulfide and cobalt sulfide, the optimal hierarchical Mn-Co sulfide nanosheet electrode exhibits areal capacitance 1.724Fcm(-2) at current density 1mAcm(-2) and excellent capacitance stability (65.15% capacitance retention at the current density of 5mAcm(-2) after 5000cycles). The superior electrochemical performance might be attributed to highly conductive, 3D mesoporous framework of Ni foam, resulting in fast electron and ion transport from the electroactive materials to current collector as well as large amount of active sites. Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor is also assembled, delivering an energy density of 27.6Whkg(-1) at a power density of 645.2Wkg(-1). The excellent electrochemical performance of the binder-free Mn-Co sulfide electrodes renders them as a promising electrode material for supercapacitors.
