Unlocking the potential of a MOF-derived CaMoO4 electrode for high performance supercapacitor application

This manuscript presents a novel method to enhance the electrochemical performance of CaMoO4 for supercapacitors by synthesizing it from a bi-metallic metal–organic framework (MOF). The resulting CaMoO4 nanoparticles retain MOF characteristics, with a high surface area, and demonstrate improved performance over conventionally synthesized CaMoO4. Electrochemical tests showed the MOF-derived CaMoO4 achieved a high capacitance of 377.82 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 and retained 91% of its capacitance after 5000 cycles. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor also retained 88% of its capacitance after 10 000 cycles, highlighting the potential of this approach for enhancing energy storage devices.
