Abstract
Summary In recent years, metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived carbon materials (CMs), known for their nanoporous structure yielding a high surface area and tunable chemical and physical properties, have drawn great interest in many fields of application, such as energy storage and conversion, environmental remediation, and catalysis. Despite the tremendous efforts involved in their development, several common drawbacks still persist during the carbonization process: (1) the intrinsic nature of micropore-dominated porous structure (limited diffusion), (2) the irreversible aggregation of metal nanoparticles, and (3) the poor control over structural evolution, which largely thwart their performance. To overcome these technical limitations, many new strategies are currently emerging to boost the development of MOF-derived nanoarchitectured CMs (NCMs). These new approaches can be considered new chemistry tools utilizing SiO2, polymers, surfactants, and others. In this review, we focus on the synthetic mechanisms of these new methods by summarizing recent findings related to MOF-derived NCMs.
