Recent Advances in Pristine Iron Triad Metal–Organic Framework Cathodes for Alkali Metal‐Ion Batteries

Abstract

Pristine iron triad metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), i.e., Fe‐MOFs, Co‐MOFs, Ni‐MOFs, and heterometallic iron triad MOFs, are utilized as versatile and promising cathodes for alkali metal‐ion batteries, owing to their distinctive structure characteristics, including modifiable and designable composition, multi‐electron redox‐active sites, exceptional porosity, and stable construction facilitating rapid ion diffusion. Notably, pristine iron triad MOFs cathodes have recently achieved significant milestones in electrochemical energy storage due to their exceptional electrochemical properties. Here, the recent advances in pristine iron triad MOFs cathodes for alkali metal‐ion batteries are summarized. The redox reaction mechanisms and essential strategies to boost the electrochemical behaviors in associated electrochemical energy storage devices are also explored. Furthermore, insights into the future prospects related to pristine iron triad MOFs cathodes for lithium‐ion, sodium‐ion, and potassium‐ion batteries are also delivered.

Using Sandwiched Silicon/Reduced Graphene Oxide Composites with Dual Hybridization for Their Stable Lithium Storage Properties

“…Unfortunately, the volumetric expansion of Si during the lithiation and delithiation processes is high, reaching up to 300% [6], leading to rapid collapses of the electrode. Many technical strategies have been explored in an attempt to overcome the challenges of the volumetric expansion of Si electrodes, including (a) reducing the Si particle size by preparing nanoscale Si structures [7,8], (b) optimizing the morphology and structure of silicon material, for example, the Si nanowires [9], Si nanotubes [10], and/or porous Si [11][12][13][14], (c) utilizing new binders to improve the stability of the Si electrode [15], (d) compositing with other materials and so on. Among these, by compositing with other materials [16][17][18], composite Si electrodes have also often been applied to improve the electrochemical performance of LIBs [19].…”
