Due to the unique properties of MOFs like highly tunable frameworks, huge specific surface areas, flexible chemical composition, flexible structures and a large volume of pores, they are being used to design the electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage devices. As per the literature, MOFs (including manganese, nickel, copper, and cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), University of Oslo (UiO) MOFs, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) MOFs and isoreticular MOFs (IRMOFs)) have attracted much attention in the field of supercapacitors (SCs)/batteries. According to their dimensionality such as 1D, 2D and 3D, pristine MOFs are mainly used as SC materials. Highly porous materials and their composites are capable for intercalation of metal ions (Na<sup>+</sup>/Li<sup>+</sup>). Moreover, the supramolecular features (π⋯π, C-H⋯π, hydrogen bond interactions) of redox stable MOFs provide better insight for electrochemical stability. So, this review provides an in-depth analysis of pure MOFs and MOF derived composites (MOF composites and MOF derived porous carbon) as electrode materials and also discusses their metal ion charge storage mechanism. Finally, we provide our perspectives on the current issues and future opportunities for supercapacitor materials.</p>","PeriodicalId":67,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142491235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various challenges in achieving artificial photosynthesis, such as water splitting, have been studied using both inorganic and organic molecules. However, several problems persist, including diffusion-limited reactions and multiple redox reactions in the liquid phase. In this Feature Article, we discuss the significant challenges in using polymer networks as active mediators for photoinduced water splitting. In the creation of artificial chloroplasts, polymer networks offer various advantages, such as stable dispersions of multiple types of functional molecules and close molecular arrangements. To incorporate these features, stepwise synthesis and integration can be utilized during the hierarchical construction of polymer networks. The constituent molecules such as ruthenium complex and platinum nanoparticles in the photoinduced electron transfer circuits are closely arranged to smoothly operate forward reactions by polymer networks. The quantum efficiency of photoinduced H<sub>2</sub> generation in gel systems is considerably higher than that of conventional solution systems. Additionally, a thermoresponsive poly(<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) network of microgels can be used to integrate catalytic nanoparticles into the inside by using the electrostatic interaction and the mesh size changes. By focusing on the redox changes of copolymerised molecules that induce swelling/shrinking at a constant temperature, active electron transfer can be precisely achieved using the coil-globule transition of the PNIPAAm having viologen. This article highlights the potential of polymer networks to develop strategies for active electron transfer and energy conversion systems similar to those found in living organisms.</p>","PeriodicalId":67,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142556584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
