Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials formed by the coordination of metal ions and organic linkers. MOFs have garnered considerable interest in energy storage, primarily for supercapacitor applications because of their exceptionally high surface area, tunable porosity, and structural versatility. This review highlights the electrochemical behavior of MOFs, their charge storage mechanisms, particularly electric double-layer capacitance and pseudo-capacitance, as well as their synthesis routes using solvothermal, microwave-assisted, and hydrothermal methods. Such enhancement of capacitance and rate capability results from the incorporation of MOFs with conductive materials such as graphene quantum dots and metal oxides. Specific cases involving Ni-MOF, Co-MOF, and NbSn-MOF composites are discussed, with a focus on their structural properties, electrochemical performance, and potential application prospects. Thereafter, the environmental sustainability aspects, challenges, and future directions of MOF-based supercapacitors are discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
