Abstract:

High conductivity and high level of electrolyte availability are the main requirements of active materials used in supercapacitors (SCs) to achieve high electrochemical efficiency. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used as electrode materials for SCs due to their suitability of porosity and high surface area. However, using single-component MOFs in supercapacitors results in poor electrical conductivity, insufficient stability, and poor mechanical properties, and neutralize the effect of high capacity and efficient performance. In this paper, using a hydrothermal synthesis method, Cu-based MOFs were fabricated and graphene was added during synthesis to enhance the conductivity of these materials.  To investigate the structure of nanocomposites were used XRD, FTIR, and FESEM analyze. To investigate the electrochemical behavior of electrodes, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance and repeatability behavior were performed. The Cu based MOFs had a capacity of 372 F.g-1, while its composite capacity with graphene is 570 F.g-1. In these composites, graphene enhances electrical conductivity, porosity accessibility, and charge storage through a non-Faradic mechanism and metal-organic frameworks increase the total capacity with high porosity, porosity adjustable, and charge storage through the Faradic Mechanism.

High-performance Supercapacitors Based on Electrochemical-induced Vertical-aligned Carbon Nanotubes and Polyaniline Nanocomposite Electrodes

Supercapacitors, which store electrical energy through reversible ion on the surface of conductive electrodes have gained enormous attention for variously portable energy storage devices. Since the capacitive performance is mainly determined by the structural and electrochemical properties of electrodes, the electrodes become more crucial to higher performance. However, due to the disordered mi...

Synthesis of Nanoporous Metal Organic Framework MIL-53-Cu and Its Application for Gas Separation

MIL-53-Cu has been synthesized hydrothermally and has been used for the first time for gas separation. MIL-53-Cu shows adsorption capacities of 8.1, 0.7 and 0.5 m.mol/g, respectively, for CH4, CO2 and H2 at 30 bar and 298 K. The high CH4 adsorption capacity of MIL-53-Cu maybe attributed to the high pore volume and large number of open metal sites....

Carbon-based nanocomposite EDLC supercapacitors

EDLC cells based on activated carbon as host material electrodes were fabricated and tested. The MWCNT additive was added into the host material to form a nanocomposite and the effect of the MWCNTs concentration on improving the performance of the EDLC cells was explored. 1M TEABF4-PC solution was used as organic electrolyte. The nanocomposites functioned differently in improving the specific p...
