Three-dimensional graphene/metal-organic framework composites for electrochemical energy storage and conversion

Three-dimensional graphene (3DG)/metal-organic framework (MOF)-based composites have attracted more and more attention in the field of energy due to their unique hierarchical porous structure and properties. The combination of graphene with MOFs can not only effectively overcome the limitations of poor electrical conductivity and low stability of MOFs, but also prevent the aggregation and reaccumulation between graphene sheets. Moreover, 3DG/MOF composites can also be used as multifunctional precursors with adjustable structures and composition of derivatives, thus expanding their applications in the field of electrochemistry. This feature article elaborates the latest synthesis methods of 3DG/MOF composites and their derivatives, along with their applications in batteries, supercapacitors (SCs) and electrocatalysis. In addition, the current challenges and future prospects of 3DG/MOF-based composites are discussed.
