2D Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for supercapacitors electrodes because of their controllable structures, tunable pores size, as well as their high specific surface areas. In this study, we report the fabrication of the pristine MOF nickel hexaaminobenzene Ni 3 (HAB) 2 supercapacitors electrodes by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The MOF-based symmetric supercapacitor, demonstrated a superior electrochemical capacitive performance over a potential window of 0-1.0 V, and displayed an areal capacitance of 13.64 mF cm -2 and a remarkable ultra-high cyclic stability with a retention of 81% over 50,000 cycles. The outstanding supercapacitor's performance is attributed to the binder-free EPD process, and to the 2D MOFs nanosheets, which eases the ions diffusion throughout the electrodes. These promising results demonstrate the potential of using pristine MOFs as the next generation of materials for energy storage applications.
