Microporous polymer material for supercapacitors with large capacitance, high energy and power densities and excellent cycle life

Green Car Congress

As high surface-area porous materials, CMPs emerge as a new medium for gas adsorption and have been developed as a new type of nanoreactors and heterogeneous catalysts upon the integration of catalytic sites into the skeletons. The Ragone plot reveals that Aza-CMPs exhibit the maximum energy and power densities of 53 Wh kg -1. kW kg -1 ).
