Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) Composited with Nanomaterials for Next-Generation Supercapacitive Energy Storage Devices

Abstract

Nanostructured materials (e.g., metal oxides, polymers, carbon materials) have been extensively investigated for the advancement of energy storage technologies. They offer novel physicochemical properties and uncover new prospects for various modern applications. Their distinguished features such as higher surface energy as well as activity than bulk materials provide more electroactive sites leading to high capacity utilization of the electrode materials suitable for energy storage systems. However, these nanomaterials often have several shortcomings such as insufficient pore channels, which limit their applications for practical purpose.
