A facile one-step growth of Co3O4 nanopillar arrays on 3D hierarchical N-doped carbonized wing scale (CWs-Co3O4).
CWs-Co3O4 could be directly used as binder-free electrode for supercapacitors.
The performance of supercapacitors depends on the N-doped and 3D ordered periodic channel architecture.
The supercapacitors based on CWs-Co3O4 showed high specific capacity of 978.9 F g−1.
