Poly(vinylidene fluoride) and Carbon Derivative Structures from Eco-Friendly MOF-5 for Supercapacitor Electrode Preparation with Improved Electrochemical Performance.

ABSTRACT: Electrodes from carbonized Zn₄O(1,4-benzodicarboxylic acid) (MOF-5) structures were prepared successfully via evaporating the solvent with a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) binder. The solvent used for a nanocomposite cast was easily removed. Such an elegant method for preparing electrodes provides a facile, cost-effective, and void/cracking-free nanocomposite distribution on the current collector. The highly porous nanoparticles containing pure carbon attach well to the PVDF membrane which results in an increased active surface area of the electrode to 847 m²/g. The electrochemical analysis shows that the best weight ratio of CMOF-5 to PVDF equals 85:15, 80:20, and 75:25, respectively. The specific capacitance of these samples is 218 F/g, 210 F/g, and 180 F/g, correspondingly. An additio
