Template-assisted synthesis of hollow anthraquinone-based covalent organic frameworks for aqueous zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Aug 27;60(70):9408-9411. doi: 10.1039/d4cc03216k.

Abstract

Anthraquinone-based hollow COFs were synthesized via a template-assisted method involving polystyrene nanospheres as the hard template, which enabled doubling the specific capacitance and energy density compared to non-templated COFs. Our approach can be extended to other COFs, offering a promising strategy for enhancing the performance of COF-based electrodes in energy storage applications.
