In this study, we present a simple and direct method for synthesizing LIG functionalized with a copper-based metal–organic framework (MOF). The proposed synthesis procedure involves a one-step laser photothermal process on the surface of a carbon-rich polyimide to obtain LIG, followed by a simple layer-by-layer technique for growing Cu-BTC crystals within the porous structure of LIG. Structural characterization through various techniques confirms the successful deposition of crystalline Cu-BTC within the electrically conductive LIG surface. Cu-BTC@LIG composites are highly valuable candidate materials for multiple applications. In particular, we demonstrate the use of Cu-BTC@LIG as an electrode for electrochemical supercapacitors, increasing the specific capacitance by up to six times compared to LIG-only electrodes (reaching values of 2.8 mF cm−2 at 54.3 μA cm−2 or 2.1 mF cm−2 at 10 mV s−1) due to the double layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance contribution of Cu-BTC. The Cu-BTC@LIG electrodes also exhibit superior energy density (7.4 times higher at a power density of 21.26 μW cm−2) and stability over multiple charge–discharge cycles (>5000), making it a promising material not only for energy-storage devices but also for numerous applications in flexible electronics.}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía – Consejerıía de Universidad, Investigación e Innovación through the projects ProyExcel_00268 and ProyExcel_00105}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Sciences and Innovation through the research projects AgroMOFs TED2021-132440B-I00, TED2021- 129949A-I00 and CNS2022-13591}, organization = {Ramón y Cajal fellows RYC2019-027457-I and RYC2021-032522-I}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, title = {Simple fabrication of laser-induced graphene functionalized with a copper-based metal– organic framework and its application in solid-state supercapacitors}, doi = {10.1039/D4TC00558A}, author = {Morales Cámara, Samuel and Toral López, Víctor and Vitorica-Yrezabal, Iñigo Javier and Rivadeneyra Torres, Almudena and Pereira, Luis and Rojas Macías, Sara and Romero, Francisco J.}, }
