Herein, we report an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of Ni-MOF for supercapacitor by introducing a secondary Co ion. The Co substitution of Ni in Ni-MOF can improve the intrinsic reactivity and stability. As a result, the bimetallic Co/Ni-MOF-1:15 with an optimal Co/Ni ratio delivers high specific capacitance(359 F/g at 0.5 A/g), good rate performance(81.5% retention at 5 A/g) and cycling stability(81% retention after 5000 cycles). These results demonstrate that the bimetallic synergistic strategy is an effective way to improve the pseudocapacitive performance of MOFs.展开更多

Fluorinated organic compounds are usually highly chemically stability due to the high electronegativity of fluorine. Also, the pillared-layer structures based on coordination bonds have better structure and thermal stability than those based on hydrogen bonds. Herein, the fluorinated pillared-layer [Ni(2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoic acid)(4,4-bipyridine)]nMOF([Ni(TFBA)(Bpy)]n) materials were constructed through a facile room-temperature solution reaction and used as electrode materials for supercapacitors. Surprisingly, the size/morphology of Ni(TFBA)(Bpy)nMOFs could be adjusted by varying the synthesis time. Benefting from the short ion diffusion length, unique pillar-layer structure, and strong intercomponent synergy of organic ligands, the Ni(TFBA)(Bpy)nMOF microrods showed a higher electrochemical energy storage capability than bulk MOFs. At the same time, compared to the non-fluorinated [Ni(benzoic acid)(Bpy)]nMOFs(31.5% capacitance decay), the fluorinated Ni(TFBA)(Bpy)n MOFs have a higher cycle stability with only 2.6% capacitance loss after 5000 cycles at 3 m A/cm^(2).展开更多
