Tailoring the Coordination Microenvironment of Polymolybdate within a Metal–Organic Coordination System for Enhanced Capacitive Activity

The design of a low-cost and efficient electrode material is crucial for electrochemical energy storage. Effectual utilization of polymolybdate as an electrode material for a supercapacitor is promising. Meanwhile, the coordination microenvironments of polymolybdate sho potential effects on its performance. Herein, we designed and synthesized four polymolybdate-based metal-organic complexes using a structure design strategy. Their structures were characterized and analyzed using single crystallographic data. The theoretical calculations revealed that the coordination microenvironments of polymolybdate play a vital role in the hydrogen ions migration. High H adsorption capacity can obviously boost the electrochemical activity. The
