Abstract

Supercapacitors are gaining attention for their high-power density, long lifespan, and rapid charge-discharge capabilities (Especially its use in defense industries and military equipment). The performance of these devices heavily relies on their electrode materials. A nickel-based metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) with a high specific surface area was synthesized to enhance energy storage. To improve electrical conductivity and capacitive properties, titanium carbide MXene (Ti3C2 MXene) and graphene (Gr) were incorporated into the MOF. This combination was deposited onto nickel foam (NF) via a hydrothermal method, which allowed for better surface area utilization by reducing aggregation between Gr and MXene layers and facilitating electrolyte transport through the conversion of graphene oxide to Gr. The inclusion of Ni-MOF also enhances the quasi-capacitive properties due to its electroactivity. The Ni-MOF/MXene/Gr/NF electrode achieved a specific capacitance of 845 F g⁻¹ in a 3 M KOH electrolyte, while the cathode (graphene aerogel integrated with activated carbon, C-GA/NF) exhibited a capacitance of 373.5 F g⁻¹. For the asymmetric supercapacitor configuration (Ni-MOF/MXene/Gr/NF‖C-GA/NF), a specific capacitance of 637 F g⁻¹, specific energy of 22.8 W h kg⁻¹, and specific power of 0.69 kW kg⁻¹ were recorded. Additionally, the device maintained 55.2% of its initial capacity after 5000 charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 8 A g⁻¹, indicating excellent stability and cycle life. Taken together, these features facilitate the use of this device in military and defense equipment.
