Metal–organic framework-derived materials for enhanced performance of aqueous zinc ion batteries: a mini review

Abstract

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are the most promising batteries in the field of energy storage due to their advantages of good safety, high specific capacity and environmental friendliness. However, the practical application is hindered by the poor electrochemical kinetic period. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with their porous structure and abundant active sites, have gained wide attention in the field of preparing nanomaterials and are expected to solve the problem of AZIBs. This paper describes the research progress of MOF-derived cathode and anode materials in AZIBs and proposes future research directions and application prospects, providing guidance for the rational design of AZIB materials.
