Abstract
Polyimide (PI) organic cathode has recently gained popularity, but the insufficient utilization of the redox-active sites restricts its applications due to the poor ionic and electronic transporting performances. A new layered porous organic cathode was designed/fabricated by using few-layered MXene as the matrix, and porous polyimide (PI) as the coating to activate the active carbonyl groups ([email protected]). The bonding structures of the as-synthesized samples were tested by FT-IR spectroscopy. The existence of few-layered MXene in the sample was confirmed by XRD and XPS analysis. By adjusting the ratio of MXene, [email protected] with 5 wt% MXene ([email protected]%MXene) shows the surface morphology of thin layered porous structure. Due to the existence of few-layered MXene, [email protected] 5%MXene porous cathode can provide multiple channels for fast electronic and ionic transporting inside the composite, resulting in the enhanced pseudocapacitive effect. Therefore, the [email protected] 5%MXene cell deserves excellent electrochemical performances. This work may provide a promising strategy for the development of high-performance polyimide hybrid electrodes.
