A　layered　structural　Zn-doped　Ni-MOF　was　synthesized　and,　for　the　first　time,　used　as　an　electrode　material　for　a　supercapacitor.　It　exhibited　large　specific　capacitance,　high　rate　capability　and　good　cycling　stability.　Capacitances　of　1620　and　854　F　g-1　can　be　achieved　at　rates　of　0.25　and　10　A　g-1,　respectively.　Simultaneously,　the　retention　was　maintained　at　over　91%　even　after　3000　cycles.　These　values　demonstrated　the　best　performance　of　all　the　MOF　materials　in　supercapacitor　at　present.　Such　an　excellent　electrochemical　property　may　be　attributed　to　the　intrinsic　characteristics　of　Zn-doped　Ni-MOF　material　including　its　crystal　structure　and　morphology.　©　2014　the　Partner　Organisations.
