Kecekapan
peranti penyimpanan tenaga, khususnya superkapasitor amat bergantung kepada
sifat bahan aktif elektrod. ZIF-8 sebagai kerangka logam-organik (KLO)
mempunyai luas permukaan khusus yang tinggi, namun kekonduksian elektrik
intrinsiknya yang rendah mengehadkan prestasi elektrokimia. Kajian ini
mensintesis nanokomposit ZIF-8/TKK dan ZIF-8/N-TKK melalui penghibridan titik
kuantum karbon (TKK) dan titik kuantum karbon terdop nitrogen (N-TKK) daripada
biojisim kulit pisang dengan ZIF-8 bagi menilai kesan pendopan nitrogen
terhadap sifat bahan dan prestasi elektrokimia. TKK dan N-TKK disediakan secara
hidroterma dan dihibridkan dengan ZIF-8 melalui pencampuran larutan. Analisis spektroskopi
transformasi Fourier inframerah (FTIR), spektroskopi resonans magnet nuklear
proton (1H-NMR) dan pembelauan sinar-X (XRD) menunjukkan bahawa ciri
kimia dan fasa kristal ZIF-8 tidak mengalami perubahan ketara selepas
penghibridan dengan N-TKK. ZIF-8/N-TKK menunjukkan peningkatan luas permukaan khusus
kepada 2067.28 m2/g berbanding ZIF-8 (1825.32 m2/g),
manakala ZIF-8/TKK menurun kepada 1650.10 m2/g akibat pengagregatan.
Penghibridan N-TKK turut menghasilkan rintangan setara siri yang lebih rendah
(1.74 Ω) berbanding ZIF-8 (2.37 Ω), di samping peningkatan tindak
balas kapasitif dan penahanan kapasiti yang lebih tinggi (39.75%) berbanding
ZIF-8 (31.41%). Peningkatan ini dikaitkan dengan sinergi antara struktur
berliang ZIF-8 dan sifat konduktif serta tapak elektroaktif N-TKK yang
memudahkan pemindahan elektron dan difusi ion. Keputusan ini menunjukkan
potensi penghibridan N-TKK sebagai pendekatan mampan untuk meningkatkan
prestasi elektrokimia ZIF-8 sebagai bahan elektrod superkapasitor.

Abstract
The
performance of energy storage devices, particularly supercapacitors, strongly
depends on the properties of electrode active materials. ZIF-8, a metal–organic
framework (KLO), possesses a high specific surface area; however, its
intrinsically low electrical conductivity limits its electrochemical
performance. This study synthesized ZIF-8/TKK and ZIF-8/N-TKK nanocomposites by
hybridizing carbon quantum dots (TKK) and nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots
(N-TKK) derived from banana peel biomass with ZIF-8 to investigate the effect
of nitrogen doping on material properties and electrochemical performance. TKK
and N-TKK were prepared hydrothermally and subsequently hybridized with ZIF-8
via solution mixing. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton
nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) and X-ray
diffraction (XRD) analyses indicated no significant changes in the chemical
characteristics and crystalline phase of ZIF-8 after hybridization with N-TKK.
ZIF-8/N-TKK exhibited an increased specific surface area of 2067.28 m2/g
compared with ZIF-8 (1825.32 m2/g), whereas ZIF-8/TKK decreased to
1650.10 m2/g due to particle aggregation. N-TKK hybridization also
resulted in a lower equivalent series resistance (1.74 Ω) than ZIF-8 (2.37
Ω), together with an enhanced capacitive response and higher capacitance
retention (39.75%) than ZIF-8 (31.41%). The enhanced performance is attributed
to the synergy between the porous ZIF-8 structure and the conductive properties
and electroactive sites of N-TKK, facilitating electron transfer and ion
diffusion. These findings demonstrate the potential of N-TKK hybridization as a
sustainable approach for enhancing the electrochemical performance of ZIF-8 as
a supercapacitor electrode material.
