Incorporating redox active units in a 3D porous network is an encouraging strategy to enhance electrochemical performance of organic electrode materials. Herein, a new hybrid composed by phenazine-based conjugated microporous polymer (IEP-27-SR, stand for IMDEA Energy Polymer number 27) and singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene oxide (RGO) is synthesized, fully characterized and tested electrochemically in different aqueous electrolyte conditions, i. e., at various pH values (1-12) and also with different charge carriers (H + in acidic, and Li + , Na + , K + in neutral and alkaline electrolytes).Although the IEP-27-SR is found to be very versatile showing very good electrochemistry both in alkaline and acidic solution, it exhibits best specific capacity, redox kinetics and cycle stability in acidic electrolyte. Then encouragingly, when IEP-27-SR is combined with an activated carbon (AC) counter electrode to construct a proof-of-the-concept device, the IEP-27-SR//AC demonstrates high specific capacity (168 mAh g À 1 at 2 C), impressive rate performance (96 mAh g À 1 at 60 C) and ultralong cycle stability (76 % capacity retention over 28800 cycles at 10 C; 2690 h) in 1 M H 2 SO 4 .
One of the possible solutions to circumvent the sluggish kinetics, low capacity, and poor integrity of inorganic cathodes commonly used in rechargeable aluminium batteries (RABs), is the use of redox-active...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
