Abstract

To solve the energy crisis and environmental issues, it is essential to create effective and sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies. Traditional materials for energy conversion and storage however have several drawbacks, such as poor energy density and inadequate efficiency. The advantages of MOF-based materials, such as pristine MOFs, also known as porous coordination polymers, MOF composites, and their derivatives, over traditional materials, have been thoroughly investigated. These advantages stem from their high specific surface area, highly adjustable structure, and multifunctional nature. MOFs are promising porous materials for energy storage and conversion technologies, according to research on their many applications. Moreover, MOFs have served as sacrificial materials for the synthesis of different nanostructures for energy applications and as support substrates for metals, metal oxides, semiconductors, and complexes. One of the most intriguing characteristics of MOFs is their porosity, which permits space on the micro- and meso-scales, revealing and limiting their functions. The main goals of MOF research are to create high-porosity MOFs and develop more efficient activation techniques to preserve and access their pore space. This paper examines the porosity tunable mixed and hybrid MOF, pore architecture, physical and chemical properties of tunable MOF, pore conditions, market size of MOF, and the latest development of MOFs as precursors for the synthesis of different nanostructures and their potential uses.
