Using a simple hydrothermal route coupled with a carbonization treatment, one-dimensional NiCo₂S₄@MnO₂ heterostructures have been fabricated successfully. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) measurements showed that MnO₂ nanoflakes uniformly wrapped around the surface of NiCo₂S₄ nanotubes and formed core–shell heterostructured nanotubes, which combine the advantages of both NiCo₂S₄ such as excellent cycle stability and MnO₂ such as high capacity. Serving as a supercapacitor electrode, the NiCo₂S₄@MnO₂ heterostructures possess a remarkable specific capacitance (1337.8 F g⁻¹ at the current density of 2.0 A g⁻¹) and excellent cycling stability (retaining 82% after 2000 cycles) due to the synergistic effects of NiCo₂S₄ and MnO₂. These unique nanoarchitectures demonstrate potential applications in energy storage electrodes and may inspire researchers to continue to focus on heterostructured materials.
