Dueto the advantages of ultrahigh power density, long lifespan and easy integration with wearable and microscale electronics, micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) have attracted great interestin recent years. However, new high-performance electrode materials for such micro-electrochemical energy storage devicesrequire deep excavation. Herein, we precisely synthesizeda new 3D bulk MOF and new 2DultrathinMOFnanosheets with a thickness of less than 10 nm,and utilizedthemas high-capacitance microelectrode materialsfor sophisticated all-solid-state MSC devices respectively. Notably,the MSCs based on MOFnanosheetsdisplayed a high areal capacitance of 28.3 mF·cm^-2, and a volumetric capacitance of 15.7 F·cm^-3at 0.2 mA·cm^-2.Especially, our MSCs exhibited remarkable energy density of 8.7 mWh·cm^-3at a power density of 110.3 mW·cm^-3, and excellent cycling lifespans with retention of 96.0% after 10,000 cycles, andall performances are better than theMSCs based onMOFbulks. Thisworkprovides a new waytofurther explorethe inherent advantages of MOFs and stimulates the synthesis of advanced MOFsmaterialsforapplicationinmicroscale energy storage.
