Conductive MOFs: Synthesis and Applications in Supercapacitors and Batteries

Abstract

Conductive metal‐organic frameworks (c‐MOFs) have uniform, adjustable pore sizes and customizable functional groups and excellent electrical conductivity, making them promising electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage. However, the synthesis of high crystallinity c‐MOFs remains a significant challenge. The purpose of this review is to provide guidance for the synthesis of high crystallinity c‐MOFs and emphasize their applications in the field of energy storage. We begin with reviewing the influence of various reaction conditions on the morphology, size, and crystallinity of c‐MOFs, and then summarize the current work on c‐MOFs in the field of electrochemical energy storage from both experiment and modeling. Furthermore, the existing issues are discussed in the development of c‐MOFs and the primary directions for future research.
