We report the facile, template free electrochemical fabrication of hierarchical Fe₃O₄/CuO hybrid wires, grown directly on a copper substrate. The electrodes are produced by the electrochemical deposition of Fe₃O₄ on CuO nanoneedle arrays, fabricated by anodization. The Fe₃O₄/CuO hybrid anodes displayed ultrafast charging/discharging properties and high rate capabilities, superior to those of their individual building blocks Fe₃O₄ and CuO. For example, at a current density of 820 mA g⁻¹, the Fe₃O₄/CuO hybrid wires delivered high reversible specific capacity, good cycling stability (delivering 953 mA h g⁻¹ discharge capacity with 98.7% Coulombic efficiency after 100 cycles) and excellent rate capability (319 mA h g⁻¹ at 8200 mA g⁻¹). The excellent performance of the Fe₃O₄/CuO hybrids comes from the intelligent integration of the two compatible components into unique hierarchical architectures with a high specific capacity, with one-dimensional CuO nanoneedle arrays electrochemically coated with mesoporous Fe₃O₄ nanocubes.
