Abstract

The optimized solution to growing problems interconnected with rising energy demands and the environment is the development of renewable energy-storage devices. Among the multiple energy storage devices, the most demanding option is the batteries due to their huge energy density and specific capacity, abundant raw materials, remarkable cycling efficiency, paramount energy efficacy, wide temperature range, and smooth performance during the charge–discharge process. The development of appropriately designed electrode materials to meet the required threshold is an area of future concern for the researchers. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) display excellent electrochemical responses due to their tunable porosity, flexibility, conductivity, easy functionalization, and huge specific surface area. These silent features makes them a captivating electrode material with exceptional electrochemical behavior for the presently dominated lithium-ion batteries. Henceforth, this review recaps the recent advancements in MOFs-based electrode materials for high-performance Li-ion batteries. This review concisely describe the evolution of batteries, the basic principle and mechanism of Li-ion batteries, and explicate the recent advances in MOFs, MOF-derived materials, and MOFs composites as an electrode material for Li-ion batteries along with their electrochemical response.  Furthermore, the future prospects of MOFs-based materials for Li-ion batteries are outlined.
