Metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as desirable
cross-functional platforms for electrochemical and photochemical energy
conversion and storage (ECS) systems owing to their highly ordered
and tunable compositions and structures. In this Review, we present
engineering principles promoting the electro-/photochemical performance
of MOF-based materials for ECS by component design and nanostructuring.
Through the discussion of the engineering strategies of pristine MOFs,
MOF composites, and their derivatives for ECS, the superiority and
composition–structure–activity relationships of the
engineered MOF-based materials with advanced components and nanostructures
will be clarified. Finally, we provide a concluding discussion on
the challenges and direction of future development in this emerging
area of MOF-based materials for ECS.
The excessive depletion of fossil fuels and consequent energy crisis combining environmental issues calls for inexhaustible, clean and renewable energy sources and environmental-friendly energy technologies, such as solar energy and...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
