Abstract  

As electrode material for supercapacitors, graphene-supported Zn-BTC metal-organic framework materials (Zn-BTC/rGO) with different morphologies were synthesized via a simple ultrasonic vibration method. The prepared Zn-BTC/rGO materials were characterized by means of TG, SEM, XRD, BET, Raman and electrochemical workstation in terms of the structure, morphology and electrochemical property. Their capacitance performance was examined by a three-electrode system. The results show that the synthesized one-dimensional rod-like Zn-BTC is uniformly anchored to the wrinkled layer of graphene nanosheets, and the material exhibits excellent capacitance performance, with a specific capacitance of 182.4 C·g-1 (1 A·g-1), which is better than the graphene-supported two-dimensional sheet-like Zn-BTC (139.3 C·g-1), graphene (97.9 C·g-1) and simple one-dimensional rod-like Zn-BTC (62.8 C·g-1). A symmetrical supercapacitor was assembled with the graphene supported one-dimensional rod-shaped Zn-BTC, which presents excellent performance: the specific capacity of 57.7 F·g-1 at a current density of 1 A·g-1, the maximum energy density of 1.99 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 1390 W·kg-1, and the specific capacity retention rate of 90.3% after 2000 charge-discharge cycles.
