“…Ligands containing carboxylate groups, amide groups, aromatic rings, imidazole rings, and pyridine rings (e.g., 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 31,96 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, 28,29,32 5-amino-isophthlic acid, 97 and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroterephthalic acid 34 ) that can provide insertion sites for lithium ions are applied to construct intercalation-type MOF anodes. 28,29,31,32,34,96,97 In these MOFs, such as Co(OH) 2 BDC (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), 96 Mn-1,4-BDC@200 (1,4-BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), 31 Cu 3 (BTC) 2 (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate), 32 and Co-TFBDC (TFBDC = 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroterephthalic), 34 lithium ions can be reversibly intercalated/de-intercalated in the organic moieties without the direct engagement of metal centers. Many MOF anodes exhibited excellent reversible capacity and cycling stability (>900 mAh g À1 at 100 mA g À1 beyond 100 cycles).…”
