Abstract

The worldwide demand for the development of technologies for sustainable energy production to tackle the issues related to the crisis in the energy sector and ever-increasing pollutions as a consequence of the extensive use of combustibles has attracted much attention from researchers in recent years. Scientists around the globe have been developing various organic, inorganic, hybrid, and nanomaterials that could be utilized as an alternative source to fuel. In particular, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered as potential competitors in the energy sector attributed to their inherent structural factors such as flexibility, hybrid nature, structural diversity, tunable porous architecture, chemical functionality, and thermal stability. Such materials are confirmed as resourceful in all sectors of energy storage and conversion applications, such as in fabricating photovoltaic devices, rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, etc. Herein, the present report specifically emphasizes highlighting the recent advancement on using MOF-based membranes or films for storage and conversion of energy purposes.
