A review on tailoring metal-organic frameworks for electrochemical applications: Advances in synthesis and structure...

Ions of metal and organic ligands combine to create the captivating family of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are crystallized materials with pores. MOFs have potential applications in supercapacitors due to their appealing qualities. For supercapacitor and water splitting applications, this review aims to determine the elements influencing MOF features and their impact on structural and electrochemical characteristics. Supercapacitors, referred to as SCs, are regarded as exceptional energy-conserving devices due to high power density (Pd) and long cycling life. The key process in SCs is energy storage, which ensures rate ability and extended cycling through efficient operation. Many reviews focus on electrolytes, electrode materials, and SC applications. A detailed report on MOFs as electrode materials for SCs is included in this review. The main goal is to present a concise overview of recent advancements in the field of pure MOFs and related forms, including MOF derivatives and MOF composites.
