(Fe-Co-Ni-Zn)-Based Metal–Organic Framework-Derived Electrocatalyst for Zinc–Air Batteries

Abstract

Zinc–air batteries (ZABs) have garnered significant interest as a viable substitute for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), primarily due to their impressive energy density and low cost. However, the efficacy of zinc–air batteries is heavily dependent on electrocatalysts, which play a vital role in enhancing reaction efficiency and stability. This scholarly review article highlights the crucial significance of electrocatalysts in zinc–air batteries and explores the rationale behind employing Fe-Co-Ni-Zn-based metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived hybrid materials as potential electrocatalysts. These MOF-derived electrocatalysts offer advantages such as abundancy, high catalytic activity, tunability, and structural stability. Various synthesis methods and characterization techniques are employed to optimize the properties of MOF-derived electrocatalysts. Such electrocatalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity, stability, and selectivity, making them suitable for applications in ZABs. Furthermore, they demonstrate notable capabilities in the realm of ZABs, encompassing elevated energy density, efficacy, and prolonged longevity. It is imperative to continue extensively researching and developing this area to propel the advancement of ZAB technology forward and pave the way for its practical implementation across diverse fields.

Zn-BTC MOF as Self-Template to Hierarchical ZnS/NiS2 Heterostructure with Improved Electrochemical Performance for Hybrid Supercapacitor

“…Based on the above discussion, in this paper, hierarchical ZnS/NiS 2 heterostructures were formed via cation exchange and solid-phase sulfidation treatments using Zn-BTC (H3BTC refers to 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) MOF as a self-template [ 22 , 23 ]. The micron-scale rod-like structure was transformed into a nanoscale porous flower-like structure during the cation exchange process, and solid-phase sulfidation was an effective way to construct multilayered composite metal sulfides by obtaining both metal sulfide heterojunctions and introducing a porous carbon skeleton.…”
