In this work, four kinds of nitrated polymer precursors (Th-NO2-BT, EDOT-NO2-BT, Th-2NO2-BT, and EDOT-2NO2-BT) were synthesized by Stille coupling reaction with EDOT and thiophene units as the end groups (electron donor units) and mono-nitrated benzothiadiazole and di-nitrated benzothiadiazole as the core groups (electron acceptor units). The chemical structure and optical properties of the precursor were investigated by means of 1H NMR, UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectra; the corresponding mono-nitrated polymer films were obtained in CH2Cl2-Bu4NPF6 system by electrochemical deposition method. The optical band gap of di-nitrated polymer precursor is obviously larger than the corresponding mono-nitrated polymer precursor (both ultraviolet and fluorescence spectra are obviously blue-shifted), accompanied with the obvious increased initial oxidation potential. Due to the fluorescence quenching effect of -NO2 group, their absolute quantum yields are all very low (0.0006–0.015). The spectroelectrochemistry and electrochromic kinetics of mono-nitrated polymer films (P(Th-NO2-BT) and P(EDOT-NO2-BT)) were studied. It was found that P(EDOT-NO2-BT) can show better electrochromic performance than P(Th-NO2-BT), with dark green in the neutral state and more obvious electrochromic performance in the near-infrared region (optical contrast: 38.4 %, coloration efficiency: 129.1 cm2/C, and fast response time: 1.4 s).

In this study, we synthesized Ni-MOF/MWCNT nanocomposite using a mixed-ligand approach through hydrothermal method to provide more redox reaction sites, facilitate ion diffusion, increase the stability, and electronic conductivity of the electrode. Benzoic acid (BA) has partially replaced Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC). BTC has been used to shape Ni-MOF nanosheets into flower-like microspheres, which can reduce the electron/ion diffusion path. The introduction of BA and combination of MWCNT and Ni-MOF result in high electric conductivity. Furthermore, the combination of two organic ligands, and the synergistic effect of MWCNTs and Ni-based MOFs lead to excellent electrochemical performance. The prepared Ni-MOF/MWCNT nanocomposite shows an outstanding capacitance of 900 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 and excellent cycling stability with 82 % capacity etention over 1000 cycles. This study presents an innovative strategy for enhancing energy storage performance.</div>","PeriodicalId":22245,"journal":{"name":"Synthetic Metals","volume":"307 ","pages":"Article 117702"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141770717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
