Recent advances in metal organic frameworks and their composites for batteries

Abstract

Abstract In recent years, new types of rechargeable and discharge batteries (including lithium ion batteries, sodium ion batteries, lithium sulfur batteries, lithium oxygen batteries, etc.) have been favored by researchers for their excellent theoretical capacity, low cost and broad development prospects. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered to be promising porous materials in the field of batteries due to their high specific surface area, abundant cavity structure, adjustable bore diameter and inorganic-organic hybrid properties. Herein, we mainly introduce the latest progress in the synthesis of pure MOFs and their composites (MOF composites, MOF derivatives) and their applications in different batteries. Finally, the scientific challenges and possible progress directions of pure MOFs and complex nanostructures derived from MOF as templates in battery applications are outlined. We hope this review will play a certain role in promoting the future development of MOFs in the field of electrical storage.
