Recent advances in lithium-based batteries using metal organic frameworks as electrode materials

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) show excellent electrochemical performances due to their ultrahigh porosity, plentiful pores, large specific surface area and easy functionalization. This review systemically summarizes recent advances and future perspectives of MOFs as promising materials for lithium-based batteries (i.e., Li-ion batteries, Li-S batteries, Li-O 2 batteries). • MOFs show excellent electrochemical performances. • MOFs are attractive electrode materials for lithium-based batteries. • It reviews recent advances of using MOFs for lithium-based batteries. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) show excellent electrochemical performances due to their ultrahigh porosity, large specific surface area, and easy functionalization. These characteristics make it fascinating electrode materials with excellent electrochemical performance for the currently dominated lithium-based batteries (e.g., Li-ion batteries, Li-S batteries, Li-O 2 batteries). Hence, this review summarizes the recent advances of MOFs-based materials as an electrode for high-performance lithium-ion storage. Firstly, we briefly describe the development history, principle, and mechanism of the lithium-based batteries. Then, the recent advances of MOFs/MOFs composite and MOF-derived materials employed as electrode materials for Lithium-ion batteries, Li-S batteries, and Li-O 2 batteries are reviewed with their electrochemical performances. Finally, we conclude and point out the future direction of MOFs-related materials for lithium-based batteries.
