The　design　and　development　of　the　supercapacitors　containing　metal　oxides　and　carbon　materials　is　very　important　for　energy-storage　devices　in　laboratory　and　industry.　In　this　study,　we　report　a　helical　carbon　tube　material　derived　from　epitaxial　Cu-MOF　coating　on　textile　by　calcination　treatment.　The　electrochemical　performance　obtained　from　the　cyclic　voltammetry　(CV),　galvanostatic　charge/discharge　(GCD)　and　cyclic　stability　measurements　indicates　that　such　a　hybrid　carbon　material　with　a　unique　structure　has　a　very　high　areal　capacitance　of　1812　mF　cm-2　at　a　current　density　of　1　mA　cm-2,　and　the　material　also　has　a　good　recyclability　of　90%　after　2000　cycles.　This　study　combines　the　advantages　of　MOF-　and　cotton　textile-derived　carbon　materials,　and　this　study　can　serve　as　a　guidance　to　improve　the　capacitance　performance　of　supercapacitors.　©　2018　The　Royal　Society　of　Chemistry.
