Recent progress in the synthesis of metal-organic-framework-derived carbon materials

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), as a coordination polymer, has developed rapidly in recent years. Meanwhile, carbon materials (CMs) derived from MOFs have attracted extensive attention due to their high specific surface area nanoporous structures and tunable chemical and physical properties, which are widely used in energy storage and conversion, electrocatalysis and other fields. Nowadays, how to efficiently prepare MOFs-derived carbon materials on a large scale for industrial application is the focus of current research. This paper reviews the different forms and preparation methods of metal–organic framework carbon materials. At the same time, the current defects and future development trends of MOFs-derived carbon materials synthesis are discussed.Graphical abstract
