Metal–Organic Frameworks and Their Derived Functional Materials for Supercapacitor Electrode Application

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are deemed an attractive type of active material during electrochemical reaction processes because of their unique compositional and structural superiority, as well as the dual role as both templates and precursors to derive a large variety of functional materials for energy conversation and storage. Herein, reviewing the recent advances of MOFs and their derived functional materials as electrode materials in supercapacitors, which are classified into pristine MOFs, MOF composites, and MOF‐derived functional materials, is focused on. Their synthetic routes and modification strategies are summarized and the relationship between the diversity of the architectures and compositions of MOF‐based materials and their electrochemical performance is discussed. In addition, the challenges and opportunities on future research and extensive applications of MOFs and their derived functional materials are offered.
