Enhancing Energy Storage in Metal-Organic Frameworks

金属有机框架是电池和超级电容器等快速充电储能装置的候选电极材料。然而，这些装置所能储存的能量受到其相对较小的电化学稳定窗口的限制。该项目将利用一系列电化学和结构技术探索一系列导电框架的电化学稳定性。通过这项工作，我们的目标是开发具有快速电荷存储的稳定框架电极的设计原则。我们还致力于合成和测试具有改进性能的新电极材料。总的来说，这个项目将有助于下一代储能电极材料的发展。

Metal-organic frameworks are candidate electrode materials for fast-charging energy storage devices including batteries and supercapacitors. However the amount of energy that can be stored in these devices is limited by their relatively small electrochemical stability windows. This project will explore the electrochemical stabilities of a family of electrically conductive frameworks using a range of electrochemical and structural techniques. Through this work we aim to develop design principles for stable framework electrodes with rapid charge storage. We also aim to synthesize and test new electrode materials with improved performance. Overall, this project will contribute to the development of next generation electrode materials for energy storage.
