“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are novel materials with a modular structure, which consists of metal cluster nodes bound by organic linkers . Due to their flexible composition and functionalization paired with porous structure and high specific surface area, they can be used for drug delivery, − catalysis, − sensing, − or gas storage − and can be attractive templates for PANI-based composites. ,, However, they are considered to have relatively low thermal, hydrothermal, and chemical stability, which can hinder their applicability . Development of Zr-based MOFs, such as UiO-66 and its derivatives, showing superior thermal stability is a step toward overcoming the mentioned drawbacks. , UiO-66, which consists of Zr 6 O 4 (OH) 4 clusters bound by terephthalic acid ligands, and its derivative UiO-66-NH 2 with 2-aminoterephthalic acid as a ligand have been successfully used as templates for the synthesis of PANI-based composites. − PANI-UiO-66 or PANI-UiO-66-NH 2 was prepared by either chemical − or electrochemical approaches and used as sensors, , adsorbents, , and supercapacitor electrode materials. − The most common chemical polymerization procedure included oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of the MOF dispersion. − , The resulting composite materials were found to have high specific surface area ,, and excellent electrochemical performance. , However, most of the published works do not study the effect of the MOF nature and functionalization on the structure and properties of the prepared materials, which is important for their further development and designing the products with desired characteristics.…”
