Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs), a versatile class of porous materials that exhibit high specific surface areas, controllable structures, and tunable pores, have been identified as a promising platform in the field of electrochemistry in recent years, and researchers have now designed MOFs specific to electrochemical applications. In this review, we describe the recent uses of MOFs and their composites for use in electrochemical sensing, electrocatalysis, and electrochemical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries and supercapacitors), followed by an overview of the remaining challenges and viewpoints for MOF-based materials for these applications.

“…Various materials have been explored as cathode candidates for Al-ion batteries, including MoO 2 , V 2 O 5 , and sulfide (chevrel Mo 6 S 8 and SnS). Most of these cathodes exhibit numerous problems, such as low discharge voltage − and insufficient cycle life (less than 100 cycles) with rapid capacity decay . These inorganic oxide and sulfide cathode materials further suffer from crystal lattice rigidity and channel construction, which may inhibit Al-species diffusion.…”

Al-ion batteries are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries because of the unique advantages of the Al anode, such as low cost and high specific capacities. Cathodes developed for these batteries, however, suffer from various problems, which include low discharge voltages with rapid capacity fade (e.g., V2O5) and unclear speciation of the Al intercalation mechanism with insufficient capacity (e.g., graphite). The lack of ideal cathode materials is currently a major challenge for Al-ion batteries. Here, a high-capacity layered organic cathode composed of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is developed for Al-ion batteries. Full cells constructed using g-C3N4 paired with an Al metal in an AlCl3/[EMIm]Cl electrolyte showed an open-circuit potential of 1.9 V and a capacity of 90 mAh/g cycled at 0.1 C. This battery also exhibits a stable capacity of 75 mAh/g cycled at 0.2 C in a long-term test (500 cycles). The data show that the layered porous structure of the organic cathode material facilitates a reversible deintercalation of [AlCl4]− anions, substituting them for Cl– in a more oxidized form of the g-C3N4. The data further illustrate that the anion shuttle is associated with a conversion between N and N+· states at the tertiary N(C)3 positions of the g-C3N4 structure.

“…However, the application of elemental sulfur as a positive electrode material for RABs is rare. Al–S batteries may have an issue analogous to that found in lithium-ion batteries regarding the notorious dissolution of multisulfide compounds, which results in the loss of electrochemically active species. , Another concern regarding Al–S batteries is the low kinetics owing to the insulating nature of elemental sulfur. − Yang et al, rather than using the unstable Al 2 Cl 7 – (dissolved into Al 3+ ) as the dissolution reagent, employed soft base-containing Al 2 Cl 6 Br – which exhibits accelerated kinetics and an improved utilization of sulfur (80%) by taking advantage of a lower dissolution energy barrier . An initial capacity value of over 1000 mAh g –1 is achieved at 251 mA g –1 followed by a rapid decay (∼400 mAh g –1 after 20 cycles, Table ).…”

Owing to their high theoretical capacity and reliable operational safety, nonaqueous rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) have emerged as a promising class of battery materials and been intensively studied in recent years; however, a lack of suitable, high-performing positive electrode materials, along with the need for air-sensitive and expensive ionic liquid electrolytes, has significantly hindered the practical use of RABs in large-scale applications. Therefore, we sought to carefully analyze positive electrode materials and the associated electrolytes that have been reported in these battery systems in order to stimulate the design of the next generation of high-performance and low-cost RABs. In this review, we have summarized the electrode materials that have been used in both nonaqueous and aqueous RAB systems and provided a rational classification based on the types of materials used and their respective structures. Additionally, we have reviewed electrolytes employed in RABs and have categorized them according to two main types of applications, either for fixed battery systems or for use in portable devices. A systematic account of recent developments on RABs, with a focus on electrode materials, innovative perspectives, and impending research efforts on future RABs, has been included. Finally, a proposed liquid RAB system is discussed with the aim of solving issues regarding fast-charging and long operational lifetimes, followed by insights into solid RABs for use in both portable and multistructural RAB systems.
