MOF-based composites as emerging electrode materials for next-generation rechargeable batteries

Metal-organic framework (MOF) composites are seen as important materials for storing energy because they have controlled compositions, high permeability, multiple functions, and a wide range of structures. This enables the selection of suitable battery electrode materials. However, there are still a lot of issues preventing MOF composite from being widely used. Battery applications for MOF composites include metal-ion, zinc-air, lithium-sulfur, and lithium-oxygen batteries, are introduced and summarized in this review. Furthermore, a summary of the difficulties in applying composites of MOF in batteries is provided. By highlighting the current understanding of MOF and its composites, the paper seeks to suggest possible directions for further study and advancement. These materials' synergistic combination makes them outstanding prospects for a variety of novel applications, providing researchers in dynamic domains with new avenues for investigation.
