Abstract

Supercapacitors have been established as promising renewable energy devices in energy storage due to their high power and favorable energy density. In this study, the design of hybrid nanocomposites (copper-1,3,5 benzenetricarboxylic acid-MOF (Cu-BTC MOF)) as active electrode materials and N-doped graphene nanoribbons (N-doped GNR) with unique properties has been analyzed. The results obtained show a relatively high specific capacitance of 2911.11 F g−1 at the current density of 1 A g−1. In addition, the stability of the electrode after 10,000 cycles was obtained by comparing the initial and final capacity, and the results showed that 93.96% of the initial capacity was retained. In an asymmetric supercapacitor, the Cu-BTC MOF/N–doped GNR was the positive electrode, and activated carbon was the negative electrode (ASC). The assembled ASC device afforded an outstanding specific capacitance of 570 F g−1 at the practical current density of 1 A g−1 and the energy density of 79.16 Wh kg−1 at the power density of 527.77 Wkg−1.
