On the way to searching adequate supercapacitor electrode materials with remarkable electrochemistry properties, extensive research efforts are underway, mainly containing optimizing the conductivities [
14,
15], constructing microstructures [
1,
16-
18] and exchanging/storing more than one electron at each faradic redox reaction center [
19,
20],
etc. Rencently, ternary transition metal chalcogenides, such as NiCo
2S
4 [
21], NiFeS
2 [
22], CoMoS
4 [
23] and NiMoS
4 [
24] have received extensive research interest owing to higher electrochemical activity, shorter electron/ion transport lengths and richer redox reactions. However, low conductivity and poor stability place restriction on their electrochemical performance further improvement. Compared with sulfides, selenides hold higher conductivity and electrochemical activity, because of their faster reaction kinetics (1×10
-5 S/m) and weaker electronegativity (2.4) [
25,
26], which signifies that transition metal selenides will be the satisfactory candidates of electrode material for supercapacitor. Furthermore, the reasonable design of micronano structure is also an effective strategy to ensure the excellent electrochemical performance of electrode materials. Hollow nanomaterials with interior cavities and functional shells boundaries exhibit vast prospects in the application of supercapacitor electrode materials by virtue of their remarkable merits such as shortened charge transport paths, low density, high surface to volume ratio, and kinetically favorable open structure [
17,
25,
27]. MOFs are an organic-inorganic hybrid material with periodic network structure, which are composed of organic ligands and metal ions/clusters by self-assembly of coordination bonds [
28]. They have well-defined pore size, controllable shape and high specific surface area, and are identified as an ideal sacrificial template to fabricate hollow transition metal compounds in recent years [
28,
29]. Many studies have been reported on the use of MOFs derived hollow nanostructures for supercapacitor electrodes. For example, Wang
et al. [
30] employed ZIF-67 MOFs as a template to synthesize amorphous CoNi
2S
4 nanocages by hydrothermal and sacrifice template method, which displayed the high specific capacitance of 1890 F/g at 4 A/g, and excellent cycle stability (the capacitance retention of 71% after 5000 cycling charge-discharge measurements at 10A/g). Yang
et al. [
31] using Ni/Co-based MOFs as template by hydrothermal method, derived the core-shells NiCo
2O
4/NiO structure on Ni foam, which delivered specific capacitance of 726 F/g at 1 A/g with and excellent rate capability (the capacitance retention of 84% at 20 A/g). However, at present, the design and fabrication of MOFs-derived, the transition metal selenides for supercapacitor electrodes have rarely been reported.
