Photoactive NIR-Absorbing Aza-BODIPY Polymer Networks for High-Performance Supercapacitors

electrode, the specific capacitance increased by approximately 74% to 740.29 F/g. This photoassisted capacitive enhancement is attributed to the strengthened ion-electron interactions at the interface by the photoexcited charge increase in the polymer, while the stable performance of the cells above 85% after 10000 cycles indicates that these NIR-absorbing materials are strong candidates for light-assisted supercapacitors.
