Fully Conjugated Covalent Triazine Framework Integrating Hexaazatrinaphthylene Unit as Anode Material for High-Performance Hybrid Lithium-Ion Capacitors

As a high-performance energy storage device consisting of a battery-type anode and a capacitor-type cathode, hybrid lithium-ion capacitors (HLICs) combine the advantages of high energy density of batteries and high power density of capacitors. However, the imbalance in electrochemical kinetics between the battery-type anode and the capacitor-type cathode hinders the further development of HLICs. Fully conjugated covalent organic frameworks have great potential as electrode materials for HLICs due to the designability of their structure. Herein, a fully conjugated covalent triazine framework (PT-CTF) integrating the hexaazatrinaphthylene unit was constructed, which provides abundant active sites (C═N and C═C groups) as the pseudocapacitive anode material for HLICs. And the connection of the triazine unit of PT-CTF improves the molecular conjugate degree, facilitating the transport of electrons. The fabricated PT-CTF||AC HLICs exhibit a high energy density (164.9 Wh kg –1 at 100 mA g –1 ), large power density (13.1 kW kg –1 at 4 A g –1 ), and excellent cycling capability (72% after 10 000 cycles at 2 A g –1 ).
