Abstract
The introduction of renewable energy sources (i.e., sunlight, wind, waves, etc.) into the energy grid is limited by its intermittency, amongst other disadvantages. This has led to the investigation of energy storage devices to close the gap and store excess energy. Supercapacitors (SCs) have been observed as excellent energy storage candidates, considering their long cycling, high power density, and minimal safety concerns. However, its low energy density limits SC application in real life. Recently, crystalline porous materials (CPMs) such as Metal and Covalent Organic Frameworks (MOFs and COFs) have sparked great interest in the design and engineering of electrode materials for energy storage systems (i.e.,…
