Up to now, the mainstream adoption of renewable energy has brought about substantial transformations in the electricity and energy sector. This shift has garnered considerable attention within the scientific community. Supercapacitors, known for their exceptional performance metrics like good charge/discharge capability, strong power density, as well as extended cycle longevity, have gained widespread traction across various sectors, including transportation and aviation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with unique traits including adaptable structure, highly customizable synthetic methods, and high specific surface area, have emerged as strong candidates for electrode materials. For enhancing the performance, MOFs are commonly compounded with other conducting materials to increase capacitance. This paper provides a detailed analysis of various common preparation strategies and characteristics of MOFs. It summarizes the recent application of MOFs and their derivatives as supercapacitor electrodes alongside other carbon materials, metal compounds, and conductive polymers. Additionally, the challenges encountered by MOFs in the realm of supercapacitor applications are thoroughly discussed. Compared to previous reviews, the content of this paper is more comprehensive, offering readers a deeper understanding of the diverse applications of MOFs. Furthermore, it provides valuable suggestions and guidance for future progress and development in the field of MOFs.

Integrating mixed electron donor (D) and electron acceptor (A) ligands into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an effective yet relatively unexplored approach for improving the anode performance of hybrid lithium-ion capacitors (HLICs). In this study, using an electron donor 2,6-bis(4'-pyridyl)tetrathiafulvalene and an electron acceptor ,'-bis(5-isophthalic acid) naphthalene diimide as ligands, a new Zn-TTF/NDI MOF () is constructed as a pseudocapacitive anode of HLICs. Crystallographic characterization revealed that MOF adopts a two-dimensional (2D) coordination network.

HKUST-1 (HKUST = Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) is one of the most recognized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on copper and trimesate, extensively studied for a variety of applications, such as gas storage, separation, adsorption, electrocatalysis, drug delivery, sensor and photodegradation, etc. In this work, we introduce a novel nanofused HKUST-1, referred to as N-CuBTC (BTC = trimesate), which has been synthesized with the hydrothermal method at room temperature (typical synthesis temperature is from 80~120 °C). The resulting N-CuBTC features an irregular particle morphology, with numerous crystals clustering together and edges that have fused, creating a hierarchical pore structure.

Aberrant protein glycosylation is closely associated with a number of biological processes and diseases. However, characterizing the types of post-translational modifications (PTMs) from the complex biological samples is challenging for comprehensive glycoproteomic analysis. The development of high-performance enrichment materials and strategies during the sample pretreatment process is a prerequisite to glycoproteome research.

The development of alternative adsorptive separation technologies is extremely significant for the separation of CH/CO and CO/CH in the chemical industry. Emerging metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential as adsorbents for gas adsorption and separation. Herein, we synthesized two layered Zn-MOFs, UPC-96 and UPC-97, with 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)-3,6-dimethylbenzene (TCPB-Me) as a ligand via the solvent regulation of the pH values.

Compared to conventional adsorbents, zinc-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as zeolite imidazolium skeleton-8 (ZIF-8) exhibit enhanced thermal, chemical, and structural stability. Nonetheless, their powdered form results in limited dispersibility in aqueous solutions and a tendency to aggregate, which significantly restricts their utility in adsorption applications. This study reports a green composite aerogel through the in situ mineralization of ZIF-8 onto bacterial cellulose (BC) for the effective removal of toxic metal ions (Cu) and Congo red (CR) from wastewater.
