MOF electrochemical energy storage

Are metal-organic frameworks a suitable electrode material for electrochemical energy storage?

Electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems demand electrode materials with high power density, energy density, and long cycle life. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising electrode materials, while new MOFs with high conductivity, high stability, and abundant redox-reactive sites are demanded to meet the growing needs of EES.

Are MOFs a good energy storage material?

MOFs have become very promising materials for enhanced energy conversion and storage because of their large surface areas, adjustable designs, and remarkable porosity. On the other hand, their actual use depends on the crucial factor of stability. The stability of MOFs for energy storage and conversion is represented in Table 2.

What are metal-organic framework (MOF) based materials?

Among the emerging materials, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based materials, including pristine MOFs, MOF composites, and MOF derivatives, have drawn tremendous attention due to their remarkable superiority over conventional materials for energy conversion and storage applications. 3

What are electrochemical energy storage devices?

Electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices are typically based on inorganic materials made at high temperatures and often of scarce or toxic elements. Organic-based materials represent attractive alternatives for sustainable, safe, and cost-effective EES.
