<div> <p>Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with layered architecture with open nanochannels and high specific surface areas are promising candidates for energy storage. However, the low electrical conductivity of two-dimensional COFs often limits their scope in energy storage applications. The conductivity of COFs can be enhanced through post-synthetic modification with conducting polymers. Herein, we developed polyaniline (PANI) modified triazine-based COFs via <i>in situ</i> polymerization of aniline with the porous frameworks. The composite materials showed high conductivity of 1.4-1.9 x 10<sup>-2</sup> S cm<sup>-1</sup> at room temperature with 10-fold enhancement in specific capacitance than the pristine frameworks. The fabricated supercapacitor exhibited a high energy density of 24.4 W h kg<sup>-1</sup> and a power density of 200 W kg<sup>-1</sup> at 0.5 A g<sup>-1 </sup>current density. Moreover, the device fabricated using the conducting polymer-triazine COF composite can light up a green light-emitting diode for 1 min after being charged for 10 s.</p></div>

AbstractIn April 2007, the Office of Basic Energy Science, United States Department of Energy organized and conducted a Basic Energy Sciences Workshop for Electrical Energy Storage at which basic research needs for capacitive energy storage were considered in detail. This paper is intended to highlight the materials research findings/needs of the workshop and to relate them to the development of high energy density capacitors that can have an energy density approaching that of lead acid batteries, a power density greater than that of lithium ion batteries, and cycle life approaching that of carbon/carbon double-layer capacitors. Capacitors inherently have long cycle life and high power capability so the key issue is how to increase their energy density with minimum sacrifice of their inherent cycle life and power advantages. This requires the development of electrode charge storage materials with an effective high specific capacitance (F/g) and high electronic conductivity. The most promising electrode materials appear to be optimized activated carbons, graphitic carbons, nanotube carbons, and metal oxides. Cells can be assembled that utilize one of these materials in the one electrode and another of the material in the other electrode. Such hybrid cells can operate at 3-4V using organic electrolytes and potentially can have energy densities of 15-25 Wh/kg. Initial research is also underway on solid-state, high energy density devices utilizing high dielectric materials (K>15000) which would operate at very high cell voltage. If such dielectric materials can be developed, these devices may have energy densities approaching those of lithium batteries.

ABSTRACTAmong the transition metal oxides, manganese oxides have been widely studied for electrochemical capacitors and batteries, because of their high energy density, low cost, natural abundance and environmentally friendliness. However, the poor electrical conductivity of manganese dioxide (MnO2) limits its capacitive response. Polyaniline becomes a unique and promising conducting polymer with a great potential application in supercapacitors due to easy synthesis and good conductivity of the conducting material. Combine the two properties can prepare nanocomposite materials in order to improve the conductivity and capacitive performance of the MnO2. MnO2 coated with polyaniline as the coaxial nanowires were prepared in this report. The polyaniline was synthesized via in situ polymerization and we got a controllable thin coating on the well-dispersed MnO2 nanowires. This hybrid nanostructure enhances the conductivity and capacitive performance of the supercapacitor electrode. The specific capacitance of MnO2/PANI composites is as high as 426 F g-1 at 1 A g-1, which is twice much higher than pure MnO2 (188 F g-1) .
