Supercapacitors, also known as electrochemical capacitors, have been considered as one of the most promising energy storage devices because of their many advantages, including high power density, faster charge and discharge processes, living cycle lifetime, compared the conventional capacitors. Recently, research has been particularly focused on MnMoO4, and NiMoO4 because of their superior electrochemical properties, abundant resources and environmental friendliness. In this work, we design and fabricate novel hierarchical NiMoO4@MnO2 core-shell heterostructured nanowire arrays on the nickel foam, which were used as the working electrodes to fabricate high performance supercapacitors. The NiMoO4 nanowires are "core" and ultrathin MnO2 film are "shell" structures. This structure shows attractive electrochemical behavior as electrode materials for supercapacitors. The findings exhibit the importance and great potential of metal molybdate based binary oxides in the development of high performance energy storage systems.
