RESUMEN
In this work, a novel bimetallic Fe-Mg/MOF was synthesized through a cost-effective and rapid hydrothermal process. The structure, morphology, and composition were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Further, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurement showed a 324 m2 g-1 surface area for Fe-Mg/MOF. The Fe-Mg/MOF achieved 1825 C g-1 capacity at 1.2 A g-1 current density, which is higher than simple Fe-MOF (1144 C g-1) and Mg-MOF (1401 C g-1). To assess the long-term stability of the asymmetric device, the bimetallic MOF supercapattery underwent 1000 charge/discharge cycles and retained 85% of its initial capacity. The energy and power densities were calculated to be 57 W h kg-1 and 2393 W kg-1, respectively. Additionally, Fe-Mg/MOF showed superior electrocatalytic performance in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by demonstrating a smaller Tafel slope of 51.43 mV dec-1. Our research lays the foundation for enhancing the efficiency of energy storage technologies, paving the way for more sustainable and robust energy solutions.
