Abstract
Zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) are a class of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with diverse energy-related applications. High-surface area materials derived from ZIFs can serve as electrodes with good long-term capacity retention. Herein, we demonstrate an electrospun ZIF7/carbon nanofiber (CNF) derived nanocomposite as a freestanding electrode for supercapacitors with excellent capacitance retention. The optimal ZIF7 composite nanofiber carbonized at 950â¯Â°C exhibited a specific capacitance of 202â¯F·gâ1 at a current density of 1â¯A·gâ1 and ~98% specific capacitance retention after 5000 charge-discharge cycles. N-doped nanoporous C and the Zn framework of ZIF7 composite fibers delivered an energy density of 42â¯W·h·kgâ1 at a power density of 0.6â¯kW·kgâ1. These scalable ZIF7/CNF composite textiles (30â¯Ãâ¯10â¯cm2) can be used as freestanding supercapacitor electrodes without a separate substrate or current collector.
