MOFs are an emerging class of porous materials with potential
applications in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Despite the numerous
advantages of MOFs, challenges are still pervasive in its application in
LIBs. Herein, we review recent advances in the field of MOFs applied in
electrodes and electrolytes of LIBs based on the structural design of
MOFs. First, low dimensions, inter spaces and composites are introduced
and its application research progress is summarized. Then, the synthesis
strategies of MOFs and its derivatives are briefly reviewed, including
template synthesis and post-synthetic modifications. On this basis, the
effective application mechanism of MOFs in LIBs is summarized. Overall,
these design rationales and synthesis strategies represent general
models of MOFs applied in LIBs, and which are also beneficial for
boosting material innovations in other filed of energy storage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
