Although asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) can achieve high energy density, the lifespan and power density are severely suppressed due to the low conductivity of using pseudocapacitive or battery‐type electrode materials. Recently, nonporous conductive coordination polymers (c‐CPs) have sparked interests in supercapacitors. However, their performance is expected to be limited by the nonporous features, low specific surface area and absence of ion‐diffusion channels. Here, it is demonstrated that the capacity of nonporous CPs will be significantly enhanced by maximizing the number of faradaic redox sites in their structures through a comparative investigation on three highly conductive nonporous c‐CPs, CuxBHT(x = 3, 4, 5.5). They show excellent capacitance of 312.1 F g‐1 (374.5 C g‐1) (Cu3BHT), 186.7 F g‐1 (224.0 C g‐1) (Cu4BHT) and 89.2 F g‐1 (107.0 C g‐1) (Cu5.5BHT) at 0.5 A g‐1 in a sequence related to the number of electron storage units in structures and outstanding rate performance and cycle stability. Furthermore, the constructed Cu3BHT//MnO2 ASC device exhibits capacity retention of 92% (after 1500 cycles at 3 A g‐1) and delivers a high energy density of 39.1 Wh kg‐1 at power density of 549.6 W kg‐1 within a large working potential window of 0‐2.2 V.
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.
