Abstract

In recent years, pseudocapacitive materials have been investigated rigorously as they provide a unique pathway for realizing high-energy and high-power densities. However, innovative approaches involving rational design and synthesis of new materials are still vital to address concerns such as degradation, low conductivity, low cycling performance, high resistance, production cost, etc. Working in this direction, we report the cost-effective synthesis, characterization, and excellent pseudocapacitive behavior of a Cd(II)-based coordination polymer (COP) abbreviated as Cd(DAB). It has been realized in quantitative yield through a facile one-pot reaction occurring among the N4-ligand, 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB), and Cd(II) ions, derived from Cd(OAc)2·2H2O, at room temperature. The proposed structure of the COP was ascertained by subjecting it to various standard spectroscopic and electron microscopic studies; these techniques reveal the self-assembly of indefinitely long coordination strands into a two-dimensional (2D) layered structure. The electrochemical performance of Cd(DAB) was evaluated as an electrode material for supercapacitors. Owing to its high conductivity, it portrayed remarkable energy storage (pseudocapacitor) behavior; it exhibited a high specific capacitance of 1341.6 F g-1 and a long cycle life with 81% retention over 10,000 cycles at 20 A g-1. Additionally, an asymmetrical supercapacitor device was fabricated, which exhibited a specific capacitance of 428.5 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1
