MIT team develops first supercapacitor made entirely from neat MOFs, without conductive additives or binders

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT have shown that a MOF (metal-organic framework) with high electrical conductivity—Ni 3 (2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene) 2 (Ni 3 (HITP) 2 )—can serve as the sole electrode material in a supercapacitor. Comparison of areal capacitances among various EDLC materials. —Alexandru Vlad.

That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Then consider that in order to actually go any farther than the neighbood store, one still had to have ANOTHER car. Interesting in any case.
