Abstract
3,4-Dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine and ethylenedioxythiophene were chemically copolymerized via an oxidativeprocess in aqueous solution. The copolymer was used as a novel mussel-inspired electroactive binder in conjunctionwith a nickel-based metal organic frame work for fabrication of environmentally friendly supercapacitors. The binder,in addition to the sticking effect, contributes to electric charge storing via the redox process of catechol moieties ofpoly(3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine) and also the formation of a high charge-storing double layer due to the presenceof poly(ethylenedioxythiophene). Cyclic voltammetry, charge/discharge measurements, and electrochemical impedancespectrometry showed that the hybrid supercapacitors based on Ni-benzidine MOF with the new electroactive binderexhibit very high specific capacitance (770 F $g^{-1}$at 1 A/g) and remarkable capacitance retention of more than 94%after 1000 cycles and 86% after 5000 cycles at high current density of 5 A $g^{-1}$ .
