MOF-derived scaffolds as electrode materials: a mini-review

Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have unique properties but suffer from low conductivity and poor stability, limiting their use in energy storage. Transforming MOFs into other materials, like porous carbon or metal oxides/chalcogenides has been explored to overcome these limitations. However, these approaches still face issues such as dead volume and poor attachment due to insulating binders, causing high resistance and detachment. To address this, MOFs and their derived scaffolds directly on conductive substrates without binders have emerged. These electrodes offer simplified preparation, enhanced electron transfer, and improved interface contact. This mini-review focuses on MOF-derived scaffold electrodes using transition metal oxides, sulfides, selenides, and tellurides, which show promise in energy storage applications. Valuable insights, identified opportunities, and future suggestions in the field of MOF-derived scaffold electrodes and their applications in energy storage applications have been discussed.
