Abstract:

The lithium-ion battery is a new type of secondary energy storage device, representing a new direction of future battery development, and is extensively used in production and daily life. However, the energy density and cycling performance of the commercial lithium-ion batteries remain insufficient to satisfy the demands of productivity development. On seeking better-performing electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, metal–organic framework materials (MOFs) with their porous structures and high specific surface areas as well as their corresponding derivatives exhibit advantages over traditional electrode materials because of their improved lithium-ion diffusion rate, reduced volume changes, and increased cycling stability, which make them highly promising lithium-ion battery electrode materials. Therefore, this study mainly reviews the MIL, MOF, ZIF, and Prussian blue series MOFs and their derivatives as negative and positive electrodes of lithium batteries based on the discussion of recent related literature. The preparation methods of the above materials and the mechanism of capacity improvement of the lithium-ion batteries are also emphasized. The influence mechanism of the increase in the lithium-ion battery capacity shows that the charge loading capacity and porous structures of MOFs and their derivatives make them superior to conventional lithium-ion battery materials. Finally, based on the most significant issues currently associated with the MOF electrode materials, future research should focus on three development directions, i.e., composites with other conductive materials, mechanochemical syntheses, and the use of inexpensive materials, to realize the commercial development of MOF electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
