ABSTRACT: To enhance the electron transfer within

the covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a nanocomposite of conductive poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and redox-active AQ-COF was obtained by performing a facile in situ solid-state polymerization inside the nanochannels of COFs. The PEDOT chains functioned like electron highways within the nanochannels, resulting in a PEDOT@AQ-COF nanocomposite with an excellent electrical conductivity of 1.1 S cm-1 and a remarkably improved performance in faradaic energy storage. The all-organic PEDOT@AQ-COF electrode showed specific capacitance as high as 1663 F g-1 (at 1 A g1), ultra-fast charge/discharge rate performance (998 F g-1 at 500 A g-1), and excellent stability for 10,000 cycles. This research demonstrates a promising strategy for increasing the conductivity of COFbased materials and broadening their applications. Keywords: covalent organic frameworks, nanochannels, electron highways, electrical conductivity, energy storage

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous crystalline organic polymers that can be obtained by combining of proper organic building blocks into periodic structures via template-free polymerization reactions.1-4 The high flexibility in the structural and functional designs, along with the intrinsic properties such as the low skeleton density, large specific surface area, and high chemical stability, make COFs a promising materials platform for gas storage and separation,5,6 catalysis,7-10 sensing,11,12 and other applications.13-15 With their

high porosity, tunable functionality and redox activity, COFs are promising candidates for use in electrochemical energy storage.16-22 Nevertheless, the insulating nature of the COFs has limited their electrochemical performance. Recently, several conductive COFs were prepared via a bottom-up strategy from specific building blocks.23-25 However, the highest conductivity was only 4 × 10-4 S cm-1. Additionally, the preparation of highly conductive COF materials via a bottom-up strategy is restricted by the limited number of building blocks.3 An alternate approach for increasing the electrical conductivity of COF materials would be to adopt a post-synthesis strategy. Dichtel and coworkers reported their strategy of introducing conductive polymer into the pores of redox active COF films by electropolymerization.17 The resulting modified COF films showed highly improved electrochemical performance, which demonstrated that a postsynthesis strategy could be an effective way to address the charge transfer limitation in electrochemical energy storage. Nevertheless, the disadvantages of electropolymerization and requirement of COF films as a precursor make it difficult to scale up to high-throughput production lines for practical application. 22 To address these issues, we introduced conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) into the nanochannels of redox active AQ-COF (Figure 1A and S1) 16-20 in powder form by the in situ solid-state polymerization (SSP)26 method (Figure 1B and 1C). PEDOT is one of the most widely investigated conductive polymers, due to its excellent electronic properties and high stability. PEDOT is usually prepared by chemical or electrochemical

polymerization of a monomer in solution. Compared with polymerization in solution, the solvent-free and catalyst-free SSP method is a more promising approach for confining the polymerization to within the nanochannels.26 By building electron “highways” with conductive PEDOT chains inside the nanochannels, it becomes possible to produce a PEDOT@AQ-COF nanocomposite with billion-fold enhanced electrical conductivity and electrochemical performance, including high specific capacitance, ultra-fast charge/discharge capability, and excellent stability.

AQ-COF was synthesized according to the previously described method.20 The linkage, crystallinity and permanent porosity of AQ-COF were characterized by FT-IR (Figure S2), powder Xray diffraction (PXRD) (Figure 1D), and nitrogen (N2) sorption measurements (Figure 1E), respectively. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and pore volume were calculated to be 1203 m2 g-1 and 0.78 cm3 g-1, respectively. In chemical stability experiment (Figure S3), AQ-COF showed strong resistance toward 1 M H2SO4.

The PEDOT@AQ-COF nanocomposite was prepared in two steps (Figure 1C). In the first step, the 2,5-dibromo-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (DBrEDOT) monomer was loaded into nanochannels of AQ-COF by evaporation of the solvent of a DBrEDOT solution (see Supporting Information). The resulting DBrEDOT@AQ-COF showed the same dark red color as AQ-COF. The second step was the in situ SSP of DBrEDOT into PEDOT within the nanochannels of AQ-COF. The PEDOT@AQ-COF nanocomposite was obtained as black powder after washing. The nitrogen/sulfur ratio in the elemental analysis result indicated that the AQ-COF to PEDOT mass ratio was about 1: 1.4.

The formation of PEDOT in AQ-COF was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy (Figure S2). The crystallinity of PEDOT@AQ-COF was assessed by PXRD (Figure 1D). AQ-COF shows an intense diffraction peak at 3.5 ° and a broad peak at 27 °, corresponding to the 100 and 001 reflections, respectively. After SSP, the decrease in the relative intensity of the 100 reflection peak can be explained by the presence of disordered guest PEDOT polymer chains in the pores. PEDOT@AQ-COF presented a type I N2 sorption isotherm (Figure 1E), indicating microporosity. The BET surface area was calculated as 131 m2 g-1, and the sharply decreased porosity of the PEDOT@AQCOF compared with AQ-COF indicated that the

pores of AQ-COF contained PEDOT chains. The thermal stability of PEDOT@AQ-COF was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA, Figure S4). The weight loss between 200 ˚C and 400 ˚C could be assigned to the decomposition of PEDOT. The decomposition of AQ-COF gave rise to the weight loss after 400 ˚C. SEM images (Figure S5 and S6) showed that the morphologies of AQ-COF and PEDOT@AQ-COF were almost the same. TEM images (Figure S7 and S8) indicated that both AQCOF and PEDOT@AQ-COF are porous materials. In the energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) elemental maps (Figure S9 and S10), the uniform distribution of sulfur element throughout the framework demonstrated the homogeneous distribution of PEDOT in the channels of AQ-COF. The electrical conductivity was evaluated by twoprobe current-voltage (I-V) measurement (Figure S11A). Room-temperature I-V plots of AQ-COF, PEDOT (prepared by SSP, see the Supporting Information) and PEDOT@AQ-COF are shown in Figure 2A. AQ-COF showed a conductivity of only ~10-10 S cm-1, which indicates that AQ-COF was an insulator. The conductivities of PEDOT and PEDOT@AQ-COF were estimated as 1.9 and 1.1 S cm-1, respectively. From the point of view of electrical conductance, PEDOT and PEDOT@AQCOF appeared as conducting materials. The

conductivity of PEDOT@AQ-COF was ~10 orders of magnitude higher than that of AQ-COF. PEDOT@AQ-COF showed the highest value among the reported COFs to date (Table S1).23-25 The temperature-dependent conductivity was also studied (Figure 2B). It can be seen that the conductivities of PEDOT@AQ-COF and PEDOT decreased with decreasing temperatures, and the ln σ vs. 1000/T plots were linear at all temperatures investigated. The rate of decrease of PEDOT@AQCOF was slower than that of PEDOT. At 77 K, the conductivity of PEDOT@AQ-COF was 1.12 × 10-1 S cm-1, while the conductivity of PEDOT was only 8.92 × 10-2 S cm-1. The activation energy (Ea) could be calculated from the slope of the ln σ vs. 1000/T plot based on the Arrhenius equation. The Ea of PEDOT@AQ-COF (19 meV) was lower than that of PEDOT (32 meV), possibly due to the host-guest charge transfer interaction between the electronaccepting AQ units in the COF skeleton and the PEDOT in the channels. The conductivity of PEDOT@AQ-COF was also evaluated by four-probe method (Figure S11B). PEDOT@AQ-COF showed an electrical conductivity value of 1.0 S cm−1 at roomtemperature (Figure S12A and S12B) and an activation energy of 17 meV (Figure S12C), which are close to those evaluated by two-probe method.

The excellent electrical conductivity along with the abundant redox-active groups (AQ units and β-ketoenamine linkages, Figure S1) and the porous structure of the PEDOT@AQ-COF make this nanocomposite a promising candidate for application to supercapacitors. The electrochemical performances of AQ-COF/PEDOT (a well ground mixture of AQ-COF and PEDOT in a mass ratio of 1: 1.4) and PEDOT@AQ-COF were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements using threeelectrode configurations in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte under the potential window from -0.2 V to 0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl (Figure 2C, Figure S13 and S14). The CV curves of AQ-COF/PEDOT and PEDOT@AQ-COF suggested that the capacitance characteristics of both AQ-COF/PEDOT and PEDOT@AQ-COF consisted of electrical double layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance. The pseudocapacitance was dominated by a reversible faradaic reaction of redox-active groups (Figure S1). At a sweep rate of 5 mV s-1, the peak current density due to the redox of redox-active groups in PEDOT@AQ-COF was 27 A g -1, which was 15 times that of AQ-COF/PEDOT (1.8 A g -1). This result suggests that more redox-active groups were reduced in PEDOT@AQ-COF, which refers to a rapid electronic exchange between the working electrode and redox-active groups in PEDOT@AQ-COF, enhanced by highly conductive PEODT chains in the nanochannels of the AQ-COF. However, AQ-COF/PEDOT showed an equivalent series resistance (ESR; Figure S15) of only 4.2 Ω, which was lower than that of PEDOT@AQ-COF (4.4 Ω). However, in the ground AQ-COF/PEDOT mixture, PEDOT chains were located around the COF particles and outside of the channels. Therefore, the PEDOT chains could not directly deliver the electrons to the redox-active groups deep within the nanochannels of the insulating COF. To investigate the electrocapacitive behavior in greater detailed, the galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) analysis was performed at various current densities (Figure 2D and S16). The GCD profiles of PEDOT@AQ-COF exhibited voltage plateaus at around -0.03 V vs. Ag/AgCl, which agrees with the

position of the oxidation and reduction peaks in CV patterns. The GCD profiles are nearly symmetrical, suggesting the excellent electrochemical reversibility. In the discharge profiles, the rapid voltage decay from 0.6 to 0.1 V was responsible for a non-faradaic process -- namely, the electrostatic storage of the electrical energy via the separation of charges at the electrode surface. Subsequently, the slow voltage decay between 0.1 and -0.13 V was dominated by faradaic processes, which were achieved by electrochemical storage of the electrical energy via the redox reaction with charge transfer. Finally, the rapid voltage decay from -0.13 to -0.2 V was again dominated by a non-faradaic process, indicating that the faradaic reaction was complete. For AQ-COF/PEDOT, the voltage decay was faster than that for PEDOT@AQ-COF in the non-faradaic range. The voltage plateaus due to the faradaic reaction were shorter than that of PEDOT@AQ-COF. At a current density of 1 A g -1 (Figure 2E), the specific capacitance of PEDOT@AQ-COF was calculated to be 1663 F g-1, which is ~6 times that of AQ-COF/PEDOT (274 F g-1). In the PEDOT@AQ-COF electrode, the abundant redox-active groups provided high pseudocapacitance, and the chemical stability ensured long-term cycle stability. Additionally, the conductive PEDOT chains inside the nanochannels improved the charge-transfer by delivering the electron to each redox-active group, while the porous structure improved ion transport by shortening the diffusion distance. To the best of our knowledge, the PEDOT@AQ-COF electrode exhibited the highest specific capacitance among the COF-based supercapacitors reported to date (Table S2). When the current density was increased to 500 A g-1, the specific capacitance decreased to 998 F g-1, which was 60 % of the capacitance at 1 A g-1 (Figure 2F). This indicates that the PEDOT@AQCOF electrode exhibited ultra-fast charge/discharge capability. The cyclic stability was investigated by measuring the variation of the specific capacitance under 10000 GCD cycles at 50 A g-1 (Figure 2F). An increment of initial capacitance from 1076 to 1267 F g-1 was

observed during the cycling process. This may have been attributable to the reorganization of PEDOT chains in nanochannels during the charge/discharge process, which increased the porosity and thus the availability of H+ ions around the redox-active groups. In summary, the conductivity of a redox active AQCOF was billion-fold enhanced over that of pristine AQ-COF by endogenous polymerization of PEDOT in the nanochannels. The resulting PEDOT@AQ-COFbased all-organic electrode showed impressive performance, including the high specific capacitance, ultra-fast charge/discharge rate performance, and great stability. The approach of introducing conductive PEDOT to form electron "highways" into the nanochannels of COFs by performing catalyst-free SSP in the nanochannels will serve as a promising strategy for increasing the electrical conductivity of COFs and extending the applications of COF materials. This strategy could also be applied for other porous material platforms, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs), conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), etc. Finally, we note that this method would be applicable to large-scale syntheses, which is important for high-throughput production lines in industrial applications.
