Are metal-organic frameworks the future of energy storage?

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have the potential to rival or even surpass traditional energy storage materials. However, realizing the full potential of MOFs for energy storage with competitive performance at industrially relevant scales requires a unified approach from electrochemists and synthetic and material chemists.

What is the relationship between energy storage and microstructures?

The findings reveal novel mechanisms of the relationship between energy storage and microstructures, that may be used to propose effective creation strategies or to design modern measure equipment in future.

What can inspire new MOF architectures for energy storage?

Design strategies employed in polymers, carbons, ionic liquids, and solid inorganic compounds can serve as inspiration for identifying and discovering new MOF architectures for superior storage capabilities. Despite their potential, there is still much to be learned about effective applications of MOFs in energy storage devices.

What are MOF properties in energy storage devices?

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have unique properties that can be leveraged for energy storage devices. a) In metal-ion batteries, MOFs rely on host–guest interactions to store ions and can improve charge conduction by installing electron reservoirs, increasing deliverable capacity. b) In lithium-sulfur batteries, MOFs use host–guest interactions to store lithium and sulfide ions.

What is a dual energy storage mechanism in MOF 73?

In some MOFs, metal ions that are released into the electrolyte during electrochemical reactions may contribute to a dual energy storage mechanism. Specifically for MOF-73 , the Zn 2+ storage mechanism contains a two-electron transfer process that involves the redox activity of both ketone and enol species.

What are the basic concepts of energy storage devices?

We introduce the basic concepts of energy storage devices, including charge storage mechanisms, and highlight the interconnected nature of the material, electrode, and cell parameters that can significantly affect the metrics of energy storage devices.
