| Résumé: | © 2024 Wiley‐VCH GmbH. Conductive metal-organic frameworks (c-MOFs) and ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as auspicious combinations for high-performance supercapacitors. However, the nanoconfinement from c-MOFs and high viscosity of ILs slow down the charging process. This hindrance can, however, be resolved by adding solvent. Here, constant-potential molecular simulations are performed to scrutinize the solvent impact on charge storage and charging dynamics of MOF-IL-based supercapacitors. Conditions for >100% enhancement in capacity and ≈6 times increase in charging speed are found. These improvements are confirmed by synthesizing near-ideal c-MOFs and developing multiscale models linking molecular simulations to electrochemical measurements. Fundamentally, the findings elucidate that the solvent acts as an "ionophobic agent" to induce a substantial enhancement in charge storage, and as an "ion traffic police" to eliminate convoluted counterion and co-ion motion paths and create two distinct ion transport highways to accelerate charging dynamics. This work paves the way for the optimal design of MOF supercapacitors |
