Abstract

Abstract: As a youthful family of crystalline porous materials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), assembled by inorganic vertices (metal ions or clusters) and organic ligands, feature ultrahigh porosity, high surface area, and synthetic and structural tailorability, along with relatively easy synthesis, making them excellent candidates for a large number of applications. Recently, increasing research interest in the electrochemical fields with regard to the environment and energy has been received. Lots of MOFs have been designed, prepared, and used in electrochemical applications, exhibiting fascinating performances. Here, the rational fabrication of electrochemical‐application‐directed functional MOFs and MOF composites is appraised. The synthetic strategies for the enhancement of corresponding MOF electrochemical behaviors are summarized and the relationship between structure and electrochemical performance is discussed. It is expected that the summary will be helpful for the future development of related MOFs and MOF composites with an excellent electrochemical performance. Abstract : The fabrication of electrochemical‐function‐directed metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and their composites is reviewed, discussing the particular synthetic strategies for the enhancement of MOF conductivity. Special emphasis is placed on the relationship between structure and electrochemical performance, with a view to advancing the future development of MOF‐based materials toward electrochemical applications.
