Metal-organic frameworks derived hierarchical hollow materials for high-performance zinc-air batteries

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived hollow materials are increasingly recognized for their significant potential in enhancing zinc-air battery (ZAB) performance. The high porosity, large specific surface area, and unique hollow structure of MOFs facilitate efficient oxygen catalysis, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of ZAB. Various synthesis strategies have been developed to tailor their structure and composition. Recent studies have highlighted the exceptional conductivity, stability, and catalytic activity of MOFs derived hollow materials, which are pivotal for enhancing ZAB performance. Future research should focus on exploring novel MOF precursors and further enhancing catalysts stability and efficiency, and developing scalable preparation techniques to further advance their application in ZABs.
