Facile synthesis of helical Co-based coordination supramolecular network micro-nano rods as a durable cathode for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors and aqueous Co-Zn batteries

Recent advances in supramolecular self-assembly derived materials for high-performance supercapacitors

“…Finally, a large number of mononuclear complexes rapidly self-assembled into a submicron array of Ni-salicylic acid CSNs by intermolecular interaction. Zhang's group 103 used the same method, employing Co foam as the Co ion source and substrate and salicylic acid as the ligand, to in situ grow a helical rod new cobalt base coordination supramolecular network (Co-CSN) on the Co base. Helical micro- and nano-structured Co-CSN has a three-dimensional (3D) network formed by hydrogen bonding.…”

A novel vanadium coordination supramolecular network with multiple active sites for ultra-durable aqueous zinc metal batteries

“…29,30 Common CSN materials include metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic gels, oligomeric coordination complexes, metal coordination polymers and so on. 31 The MOF materials have shown great promise in electrochemical energy storage due to their abundant pore size and adjustable structure. 32,33 But rigid coordination bonds may affect electron/ion transport in electrochemical cycles.…”
