Ni-Co　layered　double　hydroxides　(LDHs)　have　been　extensively　applied　as　promising　supercapacitor　materials　due　to　their　ultra-high　theoretical　capacitance　and　excellent　redox　activity.　Herein,　three-dimensional　hollow　Ni-Co　LDH　with　staggered　nanosheets　as　the　shell　was　synthesized　from　ZIF-67　template　via　the　microwave　treatment.　The　Ni-Co　LDH　revealed　a　high　specific　capacitance　(2369.0F/g　at　0.5　A/g)　and　a　satisfactory　rate　capability　when　used　as　the　electrode　materials,　which　could　be　attributed　to　its　high　specific　surface　area,　more　exposed　active　sites,　and　the　synergistic　effects　between　nickel　and　cobalt　ions　for　promoting　mass　transfer.　Moreover,　the　asymmetric　supercapacitor　device　possessed　the　energy　density　and　power　density　as　high　as　21.28　Wh/kg　and　3741.0　W/kg,　respectively.　Meanwhile,　the　Ni-Co　LDH//AC　device　delivered　excellent　cycling　stability　with　83.6%　capacitance　retention　after　10,000　cycles.　This　strategy　is　promising　to　be　applied　in　other　devices　for　energy　storage,　such　as　Li/Na/K-ion　batteries,　fuel　cells,　solar　cells,　etc.　©　2022　Elsevier　B.V.
