Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), a versatile class of porous materials that exhibit high specific surface areas, controllable structures, and tunable pores, have been identified as a promising platform in the field of electrochemistry in recent years, and researchers have now designed MOFs specific to electrochemical applications. In this review, we describe the recent uses of MOFs and their composites for use in electrochemical sensing, electrocatalysis, and electrochemical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries and supercapacitors), followed by an overview of the remaining challenges and viewpoints for MOF-based materials for these applications.
