Abstract
Traditional supercapacitors have been studied extensively because of their high-power characters. However, their poor energy density severely limits its future applications. Different from the traditional supercapacitors, lithium-ion capacitors combine the high-power density of double-layer capacitors with the high energy density of lithium-ion batteries. In order to obtain the lithium-ion capacitors with such high performance, new electrode materials are inevitable. Herein, we use the metal-organic framework (MOF) technique to synthesize nano-sheets carbon-based materials with a large specific surface area and large pore volume. This new carbon-based material shows a very high specific capacity and long cycle life when being utilized in the cathode of lithium-ion capacitor. This method introduces a novel approach to the synthesis of high-specific surface activated carbon for lithium-ion capacitors.
