Reasonable design of electrode material with low cost, lightweight, and excellent electrochemical properties is of great significance for future large-scale energy storage applications. Herein, we report the electrochemical and supercapacitive behaviour of the liquid redox of catocene, 2,2’-bis(ethyl-ferroceneyl) propane, self-assembled on a basal plane pyrolitic graphite electrode in comparison to the solid ferrocene thin film in aqueous sodium sulfate electrolyte. The modified electrode surfaces were evaluated to assess the iron content and the formation of thin film using scanning electron microscopy, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, and attenuated total reflectance method. Also, the supercapacitive performances of the related modified electrodes were assessed and compared using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge in a three-electrode system and an asymmetric two-electrode supercapacitor system. Electrochemical results showed that the electrode processes are diffusion-controlled with battery-like behaviour, and the liquid catocene exhibits more effective interaction with the graphite surface in comparison to solid ferrocene. The catocene surface coverage on graphite is nearly 50-75 % higher than ferrocene, leading to improved interaction and charge transfer resistance, observed in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies. In galvanostatic charge-discharge evaluations, the supercapacitor based on catocene modified electrode shows a specific capacitance of 141.2 F g-1 at a current density of 1.0 A g-1, with a specific energy density of 56.7 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 2.9 kW kg-1.
