This review presents a comprehensive discussion on the development and application of pristine Fe-MOFs in lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, potassium-ion batteries, metal–air batteries and lithium–sulfur batteries.

Applications of MOF-based materials in advanced full cell systems of lithium batteries, sodium batteries, aqueous batteries, fuel cells and other secondary batteries.

Fabrication of high-performance sensory materials for the ultra-sensitive detection of antibiotics in water is of significant importance for community health and environmental quality. Herein, two Zn(II)-based metal–organic frameworks, {[Zn₃(cbbi)₂(bpe)(H₂O)₆]·2H₂O}_n (FCS-4) and {[Zn₄(OH)₂(cbbi)₂(bpee)(H₂O)₄]·2H₂O}_n (FCS-5), were prepared hydrothermally and employed as chemosensors for the ultra-sensitive detection of nitrofuran antibiotics. Interestingly, different spacers and flexibility in the nitrogen-donor ancillary ligands resulted in different topological structures and fluorescence properties. FCS-5 exhibited much better sensitivity for nitrofurazone and nitrofurantoin detection, with limits of detection (LOD) of 0.22 and 0.15 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, mechanism exploration indicated that photon-induced electron transfer plays a key role in the ultra-sensitive detection of nitrofuran antibiotics.

Iron oxide nanoparticles embedded in S,N dual-doped carbon through pyrolysis of novel Fe ₄ -based metal–organic clusters are fabricated and utilized as potential anode materials for lithium ion batteries in both half- and full-cells.

In the recent decades, in order to obtain more excellent performance and a wider range of applications of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), researchers have explored potential electrode materials. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) possess attractive features, such as large surface area, high porosity, tunable three-dimensional porous frameworks, and redox activity, making them a promising electrode material for LIBs. In this paper, we introduce the research progress on using MOFs directly as anode materials and cathode materials for LIBs. Subsequently, we mainly summarize the synthesis methods, structures and electrochemical properties of MOF-derived materials (porous carbon materials, single metal oxides, phosphides, LiCoO₂, transition metal fluorides, etc.) used in lithium-ion battery electrode materials. Finally, the development trend of MOFs and derived materials as electrode materials for LIBs is proposed, and some ideas and suggestions for the next development and promotion of new electrode materials are provided.
