The Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed a new solid-state supercapacitor electrode material

Recently, Professor Wang Yaobing and Professor Xu Gang of the Fujian Institute of Physical Structure of the Chinese Academy of Sciences cooperated to propose a method for making conductive metal-organic framework nanowire arrays for the first time and use them as electrode materials
for solid-state supercapacitors.
According to reports, this method can controllably grow metal-organic framework materials on carbon fiber paper to form a crystalline nanowire array, which is then directly used as a composite electrode
for supercapacitors.

Supercapacitors are one of
the most promising next-generation energy storage devices due to their high power density, fast charge and discharge, and good cycling performance.
Compared to liquid electrolyte supercapacitors, solid-state supercapacitors are smaller, lighter, easier to operate, more reliable, safer, and can be used
over a wide temperature range.
