Abstract
As climate change has manifested more rapidly than expected, serious attention has been given to the development of green energy technology. This includes the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for renewable energy and fuel storage applications. The combination of inorganic nodes and organic linkers allows the synthesis of numerous MOF materials with open pore structure, large surface area, and unique optoelectrical properties. In this chapter, recent findings on the use of MOF as a sensitizer, additive, charge transport layer, etc. in third-generation solar cells are presented. The effect of MOF toward the performance of dye-sensitized, quantum dots–sensitized, organic, and perovskite solar cells are elaborated. In addition, the progress of MOF for more practical fuel storage is also summarized by focusing on the cryo-temperature and room-temperature hydrogen storage applications. The discussion in this chapter will spark further interest in the development of MOF for broader applications in the future.
