Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) based on Metal Organic Framework (MOF) structures has attracted a great deal of attention due to their high surface area, tailoring structure of the MOF, and high pseudocapacitance of LDH. Herein, an Ni-ZIF-67/Mn-LDH supercapacitor electrode was prepared via the solvothermal method at room temperature. A supercapacitor electrode based on Ni-ZIF-67/GO-LDH by replacing active metal Mn with graphene oxide (GO) was also synthesized to enhance the capacitance retention and stability from 78% to 97% after 1000 cycles. The morphology of these electrodes was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the specific surface areas of Ni-ZIF-67/GO-LDH and Ni-ZIF-67/Mn-LDH are 82 and 20 m2 g−1. The electrochemical performance of the two nanocomposite supercapacitor electrodes was observed by cyclic voltammetry, charge–discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The Ni-ZIF-67/GO-LDH electrode produced a specific capacitance (Cs) of 1036 F/g at 1 A/g, while the Ni-ZIF-67/Mn-LDH electrode results in a superior Cs value of 1420 F/g at 1 A g−1 with an energy density of 44 Wh/kg and a power density of 3.5 kW/kg.
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.
