Air Stable Photo-Redox Active Elusive Cr(III)-Tri-dithiolene-radical Complexes as a New Class of Pseudo-Supercapacitor with High Capacitance: Enhancement of Energy Storage with Heavier Chalcogenide
The aim is to explore Cr(III)-tri-dithiolene-radical complexes as new materials for pseudo-supercapacitors with high capacitance.
Synthesis of chromium-dithiolene complexes
Characterization of their photo-redox properties
Electrochemical testing for capacitance and energy storage
Achieved capacitance close to the theoretical specific capacity of 1546 mAh g⁻¹
Showed significant enhancement in energy storage with the incorporation of heavier chalcogenides
Demonstrated stability under atmospheric conditions
Abstract
Chromium, an earth-abundant metal with exceptionally high theoretical specific capacity (1546 mAh g⁻¹) at an accessible redox potential -0.74 V vs. RHE, emerges as a promising element for designing high...
