Comparative Study of the Supercapacitive Performance of Three Ferrocene-Based Structures: Targeted Design of a Conductive Ferrocene-Functionalized Coordination Polymer as a Supercapacitor Electrode.

As redox-active based supercapacitors are known as highly desirable next-generation supercapacitor electrodes, the targeted design of two ferrocene-functionalized (Fc(COOH) ) clusters based on coinage metals, [(PPh ) AgO CFcCO Ag(PPh ) ] ⋅7 CH OH (SC : super capacitor) and [(PPh ) CuO CFcCO Cu(PPh ) ]⋅3 CH OH (SC ), is reported. Both structures are fully characterized by various techniques. The structures are utilized as energy storage electrode materials, giving 130 F g and 210 F g specific capacitance at 1.
