Part 1. Structure optimization of MOFs and pore size calculation
Supplementary Figure 1 | Partial charge distribution on the studied MOFs. a, Ni3(HHB)2. b, Ni3(HITP)2. c, Ni3(HITN)2.
The atomistic structures of MOFs were obtained based on experimental measurements. The
geometry optimization of each MOF was derived from density function theory (DFT)
calculations (Supplementary Figure 1), using in Vienna ab-initio simulation package (VASP)1.
The Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE)2 exchange-correlation functions of generalized gradient
approximation (GGA) with Grimme’s D2 dispersion correction3 were employed in DFT
calculations. The projector augmented wave (PAW) method4 with a cutoff energy of 500 eV was
used to describe the interaction between nuclei and electrons. The periodic images of atoms were

used in all three directions. A convergence criterion for the electronic self-consistent loop of 10-5
eV was adopted. The spin-polarized effect was taken into account for accuracy description of the
total energy for MOFs system. After testing, the Γ-centered k-point meshes of 3×3×11, 2×2×6,
and 1×1×8 were adopted for the structure optimization of Ni3(HHB)2, Ni3(HITP)2 and
Ni3(HITN)2, respectively.
The lattice parameters are shown in Supplementary Table 1. Dense k-points were set as
9×9×33, 6×6×18, and 3×3×24 for the calculation of density of states (DOS) and partial atomic
charges (Supplementary Figure 1) of MOFs Ni3(HHB)2, Ni3(HITP)2 and Ni3(HITN)2, which
were obtained via DDEC6 charge analysis as implemented by Manz and co-workers.5, 6, 7
Characterizations, such as gravimetric and volumetric surface area, pore volume, and mean
pore size of these three MOFs were calculated using Zeo++ software8 with a nitrogen probe
radius of 1.86 Å. These structural properties of three studied MOFs are shown in
Supplementary Table 2.
Key parameters of MD simulation systems, such as the number of cation-anion pairs in the
simulation box, the length of electrode as well as the size of simulation box, are given in the
Supplementary Table 3.

It is worth to notice that MOF Ni3(HITP)2 has been found to have a bulk electrical
conductivity of 5,000 S m-1 (Ref. 27), whereas the other two (Ni3(HHB)2 and Ni3(HITP)2) have
yet been synthesized. Therefore, we performed DFT calculations on these three types of MOFs
in AA stacking; their density of states (DOS) revealed that all these MOFs are conductive
(Supplementary Figure 2). Among our DFT results, calculations of MOF Ni3(HITP)2 are well
consistent with previous calculations,9, 10 while the other two MOFs Ni3(HHB)2 and Ni3(HITN)2
are not reported to date.

Part 2. Constant potential implementation and differential capacitance
The applied electrical potential between two electrodes (see Fig. 1 in the main text) is maintained
constant by the constant potential method (CPM), as it allows the fluctuations of charges on
electrode atoms during the simulation.11, 12, 13 Apparently, this approach is more realistic than
often used constant-charge simulations (based on a uniform and fixed partial charge distribution
on the electrode surface), as it takes into account the electronic polarizability of the electrode and
the image force effects. Unlike carbon nanotube or nanoslit (where a constant potential approach
may work fairly well),14, 15 the conductive MOFs typically have a 3D rough and inhomogeneous
surface,16, 17 so that the local redistribution of charges on the electrode due to interaction with
electrolyte could not be neglected. Because the studied MOFs are very conductive, at
equilibrium the MOF-scaffold will be equipotential. We mimic this by tuning the charge on each
atom of MOF electrodes, iterating them from the DFT-obtained partial charges, as listed in
Supplementary Figure 1. Owing to the interaction with electrolytes, the charges on MOF
electrode would adjust the rearranging charge distribution of the electrolyte, for each given
electrode polarization. But what is important is that the rearrangement of the electronic charge
follows inertialessly the rearrangements of the ionic distribution. Such approximation may not
generally hold for materials with very poor electronic conductivity, but they should certainly be
valid for the highly electronical conductive studied MOFs. This should be true for Ni3(HITP)2;
and most likely also for the two other studied MOFs. In addition, the enhanced screening of ion-
ion electrostatic interactions in a metallic nanopore (the concept of superionic state) could only
be correctly captured by CPM,18, 19 and many works20, 21, 22, 23, 24 have emphasized the necessity of
CPM when modeling the charging dynamics process. In this study, we use a methodology
originally proposed by Siepmann et al.25 and refined by Reed et al.26 to achieve the constant
potential on the electrode surface. This technique has already been implemented in the
simulations of carbon based supercapacitors.12, 27 Especially for the porous carbon electrode,
CPM could predict the EDL capacitance which agrees quantitatively with experiments.12
Although CPM method is much more expensive in computation, it is vital to the study the
microstructure of the electrolyte in such confinement and ion transport dynamics, as well as for
comparing the simulated energy storage performance with experiments. Specialized optimization
and parallelization are adopted here for accelerating the MD simulations. With this CPM

Supplementary Figure 3 shows that electrode charge distribution along the pore surface is
homogeneous everywhere, except for pore-entrance sections (the first two MOF pieces).

In our MD simulation, we implemented constant potential method to mimic the applied voltage
between the two electrodes; our modified code could on-the-fly output the amount of charge of
each atom on MOF electrode during the simulation runs. We performed simulations under a
series of applied voltages. Upon the surface area of MOFs is determined, we are able to obtain
the areal surface charge density (σ) as a function of the electrode potential (ϕ). Specifically, σ is
the charged accumulated on the electrode, calculated per surface area of the electrode; electrode
potential ϕ is defined as the potential drop between an electrode and the bulk of the electrolyte
(see Fig. 1a in the main text), relative to its value at zero charge potential of the electrode. The
differential capacitance (C) is therefore calculated by taking derivatives of the MD-obtained σ-ϕ
curves (Supplementary Figure 4).

Part 4. Comparison of MOFs Ni3(HHB)2 and Ni3(HAB)2
With the same modeling process for Ni3(HHB)2, Ni3(HITP)2, and Ni3(HITN)2 (see
Supplementary Part 1), we obtained the molecular model for MOF Ni3(hexaaminobenzene)2
(Ni3(HAB)2), based on experimental measurements.28 We then adopted Zeo++ software8 to
evaluate the accessible volume of MOF Ni3(HAB)2, and found that MOF Ni3(HAB)2 has smaller
in-pore space than MOF Ni3(HHB)2 (see Supplementary Table 4).

anions in Ni3(HAB)2.
MD simulations of MOF Ni3(HAB)2 in [EMIM][BF4] electrolyte were performed to explore
the in-pore structure and its capacitance. As seen from the 2D map of charge and ion
distributions in Ni3(HAB)2 (Supplementary Figure 11) and Ni3(HHB)2 (Supplementary
Figure 5), it demonstrates that Ni3(HAB)2 has less room than Ni3(HHB)2 for ions to access.
Again, it means the pore size of Ni3(HAB)2, as seen by ions, is effectively smaller than that of
Ni3(HHB)2. The differential gravimetric capacitance obtained from MD simulations of MOF
Ni3(HAB)2 in Supplementary Figure 12a was found to be clearly smaller than MOF Ni3(HHB)2
(Figure 3b in the main text), due to the smaller in-pore room for ions to access.
We took MOF Ni3(HAB)2, synthesized with the same approach in previous work,28 as
electrode materials and then curried out the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements on 2-
electrode cell with [EMIM][BF4] electrolyte. The CV curve exhibits a capacitance of 17 F g-1
from (Supplementary Figure 12b), which is close the capacitance predicted by MD simulation
(~12 F g-1 under a working voltage of 1.2 V, see Supplementary Figure 12a). Previously, MOF
Ni3(HAB)2 was shown to be very promising as an electrode when using an aqueous electrolyte
with small ions, having highly reversible redox behaviors.29 However, the results herein suggest
MOF Ni3(HAB)2 may not be suitable as an electrode material for most of the IL-based electrical
double layer capacitors, as its pores are too small for ions of a typical IL to fit in (even small
[BF4]- anions have difficulties to access them, see the comparison of Supplementary Figure 11c
with Supplementary Figure 5c).

Part 6. Verification of different models of electrolyte and electrode
6.1 Comparison of MD simulations with ionic liquid in different models
To verify that the coarse-grain model of [EMIM][BF4] is good enough in our simulations, all-
atom model30 has been adopted to simulate the same ionic liquid in Ni3(HITP)2. Simulation setup
is the same as that with the coarse-grain model (see Methods in the main text).
All-atom model, shown in Supplementary Figure 15, does reveal more details than the
coarse-grained model; however, they reveal very similar findings in terms of both the
equilibrium properties and structures and charging dynamics. From the in-plane, 2D maps of
charge and ion distributions (Supplementary Figure 16), these two models both demonstrate
layered structures. This is further verified by in-pore ion density distribution (Supplementary
Figure 17a-b) and the analysis of ion orientation (Supplementary Figure 17c). The same refers
to dynamics process (Supplementary Figure 18); these two models lead to almost overlapping
charging curves, with very similar total charge on fully charged electrode (relative difference is
within 4%). Those comparisons evidence that the adopted coarse-grained model can correctly
characterize [EMIM][BF4] in MOF confinement.
It should be noticed that the simulation with the coarse-grain model could save much more
computational resource and the time than using the all-atom model, since there are about 20,000
atoms in an MD system with the coarse-grain model while the total number is about 60,000 with
the all-atom model.

6.2 Comparison of MD simulations with electrode MOF in different stacking models
To verify the effect of layer to layer stacking in MOF on the capacitive performance, we adopted
an AB stacking, reported to be slipped-parallel with 1/16-th of a unit cell displacement along
both a and b from layer to layer,31 to compare with the AA stacking (i.e., no displacement and
rotation between layers) of MOF used in main text. Thus, we took the model of AB-stacking
MOF electrode (Supplementary Figure 19a) in additional modeling. Using Zeo++ software8,
we calculated the specific surface area and pore size as 1184.44 m2 g-1 and 1.48 nm, respectively,
which are close to the MOF electrode in AA stacking (i.e., 1153.23 m2 g-1 and 1.57 nm in
Supplementary Table 2).
We then performed MD simulations with such AB-stacking Ni3(HITP)2 electrodes. In
comparison with the previous charging curve from AA-stacking MOF simulations, such tiny
parallel slip (0.137 nm) introduces a negligible difference on both capacitance (surface charge in
equilibrium) and charging process (Supplementary Figure 19b).

We have now performed multi-cycle CV measurements for different samples of MOF
Ni3(HITP)2 electrodes (Supplementary Figure 25). We started with the sample that displayed
specific surface area of 732 m2 g-1 and highly ordered PXRD pattern (showing higher
crystallinity), and found that no Faradaic activity occurred within a 2.8 V window from -0.9 V to
+1.9 V (Supplementary Figure 24b). This MOF electrode has continuously shown steady
performance during 2000 cycles (there is some minor degradation within 500 cycles, but it
stabilizes after that, see Supplementary Figure 25) for a symmetric voltage window of -0.7 V to
+0.7 V, i.e., within 1.4 V window.
Sample’s crystallinity plays an important role here. Indeed, we also investigated the sample that
has lower specific surface area (556 m2 g-1) and less perfect PXRD pattern (both indicate lower
crystallinity). This sample can continuously work stably over 2000 cycles but only within a
narrower voltage interval of 1.0 V, from -0.5 V to +0.5 V (Supplementary Figure 25b). This
suggests that the voltage interval of stable performance, at least for the explored MOF

Supplementary Figure 27 | Nyquist plot for EDLCs of MOF Ni3(HITP)2 pellet in ionic liquid [EMIM][BF4]. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of a real 2-electrode cell was performed for EDLCs with the electrode of MOF Ni3(HITP)2 pellets in [EMIM][BF4], from 10 mHz to 200 KHz. The inset shows a zoom-in of the high and middle-frequency region.
With the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement, we obtained the
experimental Nyquist plot of a real 2-electrode cell, based on the electrode of MOF Ni3(HITP)2
pellets in ionic liquid [EMIM][BF4]. From the Nyquist plot in Supplementary Figure 27, the
ESR is evaluated as 8.9 Ω cm2, which is close to that from the galvanostatic charge-discharge
measurement (8.6 Ω cm2) as well as to the theoretical one (6.4 Ω cm2) obtained from intersection
of the vertical line and the X axis (see Fig. 6a in main text).
Moreover, unlike the theoretical Nyquist plot shown in the main text (Fig. 6a), experiment
shows (i) an inclined but not ideally vertical line at low frequency and (ii) a semi-circle loop in
the high and middle-frequency region. In the low frequency domain, the experimental EIS curve
deviates from the vertical line of simulation result, and such deviation is expected. A recent
research suggests that this would be a result of the RTIL’s low conductivity, in which they
showed that such deviation becomes more significant as the conductivity of the RTIL
decreases.32 The discrepancy in high and middle-frequency region may be attributed to the
contact resistance between MOF pellets and current collector.33

Part 8. Simulink circuit simulation of a practical cell-size EDLC
Supplementary Figure 28 | Schematics of the conceived two-electrode symmetrical cell and circuit diagram in Simulink. a, Size parameters of the practical cell-size system with MOF pellet electrodes (upper panel) and a picture of the cell measured in experiments (lower panel). The mass loading of MOF pellets is 5.9 mg cm-2. b, Equivalent circuit model of the cell-size system (hereafter is named EDLC module). c, Ragone plot measurement circuit by constant power load test via DC-DC converter module. The equivalent circuit model consists of two RC transmission line models for positive and negative electrode respectively, as well as the resistor of separator (R sep). Each capacitor (C cell) or resistor (Rcell) has the same value, so that the entire transmission line model consists of many repeating RC sections (here we use 6 sections, which has been tested to be large enough; further increasing the number of sections has negligible effects on results). The Ragone test circuit is designed by attaching a boosting DC-DC converter to the EDLC module, so that the output voltage of the EDLC module is boosted and maintained at 4V. By manipulating the power load of the circuit, we get the available energy of the tested EDLC module at different constant active power request.
To predict the capacitive performance of a practical cell-size MOF-based supercapacitor
(shown in Supplementary Figure 28a), Simulink circuit simulations were performed based on
the equivalent circuit model (i.e., EDLC module shown in Supplementary Figure 28b). All the
size parameters are following our experiment of the MOF pellet electrode (dcell=6.4mm), the
thickness of the electrode (LMOF=180 µm), and the thickness of the separate (Lsep=25µm). The
RC transmission line circuit (with six repeating RC sections) has been adopted to model the

positive and negative electrodes of the cell-size system, and the separator has been modeled as a
pure resistor. Each capacitor has the same value (C cell) and each resistor has the same Rcell. These
values are calculated based on the MD-obtained area-specific capacitance (Carea) and TLM-fitted

where S is the gravimetric surface area of the MOF, ρMOF is the density of the MOF, and PMOF is
the porosity of the MOF, which are obtained from MD system (Supplementary Table 2); dcell is
the diameter of the cell-size electrode (6.4 mm) and LMOF is the characteristic thickness of the
MOF electrode (180 µm for all three studied MOFs), which are taken from our experiment setup
of the two-electrode symmetrical cell (Supplementary Figure 28a); nsets is the number of
repeating RC sections in RC transmission line circuit model (nsets=¿ 6 in this work, which has
been tested to be large enough; further increasing the number of sections has negligible effects
on results)34. Parameters Carea and σ are obtained, respectively, from MD simulations and the
TLM fitting of MD-obtained charging curves. The separator has been modeled as pure RTIL
(here we simply consider that the resistance of the separator region is only contributed from
RTIL in the separator). Thus, the resistor (R sep) can be calculated as:
R sep=1

the thickness of the separator (25 µm, cf. Supplementary Figure 28a).
The Nyquist plots of cell-size systems were obtained by the impedance measurement

Simulink to perform constant power load test of EDLC module (Supplementary Figure 28c).
With the help of DC-DC converter, the output voltage (V out) of EDLC module could be
maintained at a fixed value (here we set 4V), and by setting different values of loading resistor,
the power request can be manipulated. For instance, if we set Rload at 4 Ω, the power request (Preq
) would be fixed at Preq=(V ¿¿ out)2
R load=¿¿ 4 W. Then, by measuring how long the EDLC module
could supply such required power in Simulink circuit simulations, we can get the available
energy of the EDLC at this power request (i.e., Ragone plots in Fig. 6 in the main text and
Supplementary Figure 29).
