Abstract

Traditional metal organic framework (MOF) hinders its application as high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors due to the limited electron transfer efficiency and conjugation of its ligand molecules. Therefore, in this article, highly electrochemical active pyrazole trincore-copper cluster derivatives as the core unit were covalently assembled by Schiff base reaction with organic linkers of different structures to obtain a series of structurally different electroactive ligands. It was found that ligands with multiactive metal chelation site structure with polydentate carboxylate linker and aromatic extension showed high coordination ability and high degree of conjugation. The nickel-based MOF synthesized with this novel electroactive ligand exhibited a high specific capacitance of 1804 Fg−1 at a current density of 1 Ag−1. At a power density of 747.25 W kg−1, the maximum energy density of the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with Cu-PyAc-Am2Ac-Ni is 58.95 Wh kg−1 with cycling stability of 88.95 % after 5000 charges and discharges. This means that Cu-PyAc-Am2Ac-Ni is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors.
