Abstract

<p>As a cathode material of hybrid supercapacitors, a 5-carboxy cyclic indole trimer (5-carboxyCIT) was characterized in a non-aqueous electrolyte, lithium tetrafluoroborate salt in the mixture of ethylene carbonate and dimethylcarbonate (LiBF4/EC+DMC). The 5-carboxyCIT electrode showed three redox couples, where charge transfer occurs with Li+ desorption/adsorption at carboxyl functional group (E0,=0.19 V vs. Ag/Ag+), BF4 doping/undoping (E0’=0.48V vs. Ag/Ag+), and Li+ undoping/doping (E0,=0.96 V vs. Ag/Ag+). Specific capacity of the 5-carboxyCIT was 78 Ah kg−1 (234 Fg−1) at scan rate of 10mV s−1, which is comparable to the capacity in a 4 M H2SO4 aqueous electrolyte (86 Ah kg−1). After potential cycling of 50,000 cycles, the electrode in the LiBF4/EC+DMC electrolyte maintained 70% (55 Ah kg−1) of initial capacity</p>
