MOF - a promising material for energy applications

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) accumulated from metal-based protuberances with equivalent carbon-based linkers took much attention having the benefits of the unique internal surface area, tailored chemistry, versatile nature, high porosity, and small size with promising and intriguing characteristics. The synthetic scheme of MOFs can fix its structure and properties, by adjusting the synthetic parameters, for example, metal precursor, organic ligands, ion concentration, pH value, and temperature. Recently, one of furthermost vigorous investigate arenas is exploring energy application of MOF-derived constituents. In this chapter, our focus is on the recent progress of MOF-based materials for energy storage, fuel cells, electrochemical energy storage, and conversions. We also discussed challenges and opportunities in advanced energy application with MOF-derived materials.
