In this work, RuOb>2b> honeycomb networks (RHCs) and hollow spherical structures (RHSs) were rationally designed and synthesized with modified-SiOb>2b> as a sacrificial template via two hydrothermal approaches. At a high current density of 20 A g–1, the two hierarchical porous RuOb>2b>·xHb>2b>O frameworks showed the specific capacitance as high as 628 and 597 F g–1; this is about 80% and 75% of the capacitance retention of 0.5 A g–1 for RHCs and RHSs, respectively. Even after 4000 cycles at 5 A g–1, the RHCs and RHSs can still remain at 86% and 91% of their initial specific capacitances, respectively. These two hierarchical frameworks have a well-defined pathway that benefits for the transmission/diffusion of electrolyte and surface redox reactions. As a result, they exhibit good supercapacitor performance in both acid (Hb>2b>SOb>4b>) and alkaline (KOH) electrolytes. As compared to RuOb>2b> bulk structure and similar RuOb>2b> counterpart reported in pseudocapacitors, the two hierarchical porous RuOb>2b>·xHb>2b>O frameworks have better energy storage capabilities, high-rate performance, and excellent cycling stability.
