A review on synthesis of MOF-derived carbon composites: innovations in electrochemical, environmental and electrocatalytic technologies

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Carbon composites derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have shown great promise as multipurpose materials for a range of electrochemical and environmental applications. Since carbon-based nanomaterials exhibit intriguing features, they have been widely exploited as catalysts or catalysts supports in the chemical industry or for energy or environmental applications. To improve the catalytic performance of carbon-based materials, high surface areas, variable porosity, and functionalization are thought to be essential. This study offers a thorough summary of the most recent developments in MOF-derived carbon composite synthesis techniques, emphasizing innovative approaches that improve the structural and functional characteristics of the materials. Their uses in electrochemical technologies, such as energy conversion and storage, and their function in environmental electrocatalysis for water splitting and pollutant degradation are also included in the debate. This review seeks to clarify the revolutionary effect of carbon composites formed from MOFs on sustainable technology solutions by analyzing current research trends and innovations, opening the door for further advancements in this rapidly evolving sector.
