There is an imperative need to develop high performance electrode for advance energy storage devices. This work represents the successful synthesis of zinc cobaltite (ZnCo₂O₄), nickel cobalt metal organic framework, and their composite (ZnCo₂O₄@NiCo-MOF). The materials are synthesized by using both hydrothermal and sonication techniques. The ZnCo₂O₄ offers eco-friendly and diffusion regulated properties, while NiCo-MOF provides large specific surface area and tunable pore structure. The ZnCo₂O₄@NiCo-MOF provide superior electrochemical performance compared to ZnCo2O4 and NiCo-MOF in a three electrode setup. The ZnCo₂O₄@NiCo-MOF provides a specific capacity of 984 C/g at 1.5 A/g. The ZnCo₂O₄@NiCo-MOF is also utilized in two electrode setup with activated carbon. The ZnCo₂O₄@NiCo-MOF//AC device demonstrates the energy density of 92.4 Wh/kg and a power density of 930 W/kg. Additionally, the real time application of ZnCo₂O₄@NiCo-MOF electrode is also tested in the detection of monosodium glutamate in food. This study highlights the importance of ZnCo₂O₄@NiCo-MOF electrode materials for future storage and detection devices.
