A copper-based layered coordination polymer: synthesis, magnetic properties and electrochemical performance in supercapacitors

Abstract

A copper-based layered coordination polymer ([Cu(hmt)(tfbdc)(H2O)]; hmt = hexamethylenetetramine, tfbdc = 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroterephthalate; Cu-LCP) has been synthesized, and it has been structurally and magnetically characterized. The Cu-LCP shows ferromagnetic interactions between the adjacent copper(II) ions. Density functional theory calculations on the special model of Cu-LCP support the occurrence of ferromagnetic interactions. As an electrode material for supercapacitors, Cu-LCP exhibits a high specific capacitance of 1274 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1 in 1 M LiOH electrolyte, and the capacitance retention is about 88% after 2000 cycles.
