Abstract
In this study, a series of LaxCa1-xMo-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), designated as CML1, CML2, CML3 and CML4, were synthesized via a controlled precipitation method. A comprehensive characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The XRD confirmed the formation of a single-phase tetragonal scheelite-type structure (I4₁/a), with no secondary phases detected. The average crystallite size is found to be 54, 52, 42 and 16 (nm) in CML1, CML2, CML3 and CML4 MOFs. The SEM reveals a morphological evolution from irregular granules in CML1 to well-faceted rods in CML4 MOFs. The electrochemical analysis revealed a clear performance hierarchy, with CML3 electrode exhibiting the highest the specific capacitance in a two-electrode system. The coulombic efficiency of 96 % is retained by the CML3 electrode even after 1000 GCD cycles in a two-electrode system.
期刊介绍:
Giant is an interdisciplinary title focusing on fundamental and applied macromolecular science spanning all chemistry, physics, biology, and materials aspects of the field in the broadest sense. Key areas covered include macromolecular chemistry, supramolecular assembly, multiscale and multifunctional materials, organic-inorganic hybrid materials, biophysics, biomimetics and surface science. Core topics range from developments in synthesis, characterisation and assembly towards creating uniformly sized precision macromolecules with tailored properties, to the design and assembly of nanostructured materials in multiple dimensions, and further to the study of smart or living designer materials with tuneable multiscale properties.
