In summary, a simple ultrasonication technique has been
employed for the preparation of IITI-1/CNT hybrid. Incorporation
of CNT in the layered IITI-1 give rise to synergistically improved
electrochemical energy storage efficiency, which is evident in
noteworthy high specific capacitance and good rate performance
of IITI-1/CNT. From the results, it can be presumed that the
precisely defined porous structure of IITI-1 stimulates the
electrolyte access to the active sites, and the high electronic
conductivity of CNTs can accelerates the electronic
transportation, which contribute immensely in delivering high
electrochemical performance. The present work highlights the
importance of MOF/carbonaceous materials to be promising
supercapacitor electrode materials.
Keywords: supercapacitor, IITI-1 MOF, CNT, specific
capacitance, cyclic voltammetry

H2L (20 mg, 0.05 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (4 mL) and mixed
with Cu(NO3)2·3H2O (35 mg, 0.15 mmol,) with further addition of
H2O (1ml) and conc. HCl (1 drop). Clear solution was obtained.
The mixture was placed in a conical flask and placed for slow
evaporation at room temperature. Green-colored block-shaped
crystals of IITI-1 were obtained in 7 days with 52% yield. FT-IR

The CNTs were purchased and utilized without any modification.
The composite of IITI-1 and CNT was prepared using the ultra-
sonication assisted technique by acquiring them in 1:1 ratio
(wt%). In this method, appropriate amount of CNT was
dispersed in a solution of IITI-1 in ethanol by doing sonication for
1 hr and then dried by rotary evaporation. The obtained black
colored powder represents the composite of IITI-1 and CNT and
termed as IITI-1/CNT.
