MOF-Based Bioelectronic Supercapacitors

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a highly promising material class for bioelectronic supercapacitors, characterized by their adjustable structures, extensive surface areas, and superior electrochemical properties. This research explores the synthesis and incorporation of MOF-based materials into bioelectronic devices aimed at energy storage and biosensing applications. The focus is on improving the electrochemical performance of MOFs while preserving their structural integrity through functionalization with biocompatible polymers and conductive materials. The resulting MOF-based bioelectronic supercapacitors exhibit significant improvements in specific capacitance, energy density, and cycling stability. Additionally, the inclusion of bioreceptors allows for the simultaneous detection of biochemical signals alongside energy storage, thus enabling innovative applications in wearable electronics and health monitoring systems. These results suggest that MOF-based supercapacitors have the capacity to fulfill energy storage needs while also advancing bioelectronics by merging energy and sensing capabilities.
