Nanostructured　metal-based　compound　electrodes　with　excellent　electrochemical　activity　and　electrical　conductivity　are　promising　for　high-performance　energy　storage　applications.　In　this　paper,　we　report　an　asymmetric　supercapacitor　based　on　Ti　and　Cu　coated　vertical-aligned　carbon　nanotube　electrodes　on　carbon　cloth.　The　active　material　is　achieved　by　in-situ　functionalization　using　a　high-temperature　annealing　process.　Scanning　and　transmission　electron　microscopy　and　Raman　spectroscopy　confirm　the　detailed　nanostructures　and　composition　of　the　electrodes.　The　TiC@VCC　and　CuxS@VCC　electrodes　show　a　high　specific　capacity　of　200.89　F　g(-1)　and　228.37　F　g(-1),　respectively,　and　good　capacitive　characteristics　at　different　scan　speeds.　The　excellent　performance　can　be　attributed　to　a　large　surface　area　to　volume　ratio　and　high　electrical　conductivity　of　the　electrodes.　Furthermore,　an　asymmetric　supercapacitor　is　assembled　with　TiC@VCC　as　anode　and　CuxS@VCC　as　cathode.　The　full　device　can　operate　within　the　0-1.4　V　range,　and　shows　a　maximum　energy　density　of　9.12　Wh　kg(-1)　at　a　power　density　of　46.88W　kg(-1).　These　findings　suggest　that　the　metal-based　asymmetric　electrodes　have　a　great　potential　for　supercapacitor　applications.
