Abstract

MOFs are the state-of-the-art crystalline materials which are synthesized through the combination of organic linkers and metal ions clusters. Unique features such as artificial tailorability, excellent porosity and facile synthesis make them suitable candidate in a variety of applications. However, their applicability is being hindered due to insufficient electro-activity and electrical conductivity. In addition to that, they are less stable in some media. To overcome aforementioned issues, MOFs can be combined with carbon-based materials such as graphene, CNTs, and carbon blacks to achieve sufficient electrical conductivity along with mechanical strength and other new functionalities. The area of application thus widens beyond single phase MOFs. This chapter mainly focuses on the grouping of reports related to MOF-carbon composites in the recent times. The synthesis procedures accompanied with application are also discussed.
