TI  - Nanoarchitectures for Metal-Organic Framework-Derived Nanoporous Carbons toward 
      Supercapacitor Applications.
PG  - 2796-2806
AB  - The future advances of supercapacitors depend on the development of novel carbon 
      materials with optimized porous structures, high surface area, high conductivity, 
      and high electrochemical stability. Traditionally, nanoporous carbons (NPCs) have 
      been prepared by a variety of methods, such as templated synthesis, carbonization 
      of polymer precursors, physical and chemical activation, etc. Inorganic solid 
      materials such as mesoporous silica and zeolites have been successfully utilized 
      as templates to prepare NPCs. However, the hard-templating methods typically 
      involve several synthetic steps, such as preparation of the original templates, 
      formation of carbon frameworks, and removal of the original templates. Therefore, 
      these methods are not favorable for large-scale production. Metal-organic 
      frameworks (MOFs) with high surface areas and large pore volumes have been 
      studied over the years, and recently, enormous efforts have been made to utilize 
      MOFs for electrochemical applications. However, their low conductivity and poor 
      stability still present major challenges toward their practical applications in 
      supercapacitors. MOFs can be used as precursors for the preparation of NPCs with 
      high porosity. Their parent MOFs can be prepared with endless combinations of 
      organic and inorganic constituents by simple coordination chemistry, and it is 
      possible to control their porous architectures, pore volumes, surface areas, etc. 
      These unique properties of MOF-derived NPCs make them highly attractive for many 
      technological applications. Compared with carbonaceous materials prepared using 
      conventional precursors, MOF-derived carbons have significant advantages in terms 
      of a simple synthesis with inherent diversity affording precise control over 
      porous architectures, pore volumes, and surface areas. In this Account, we will 
      summarize our recent research developments on the preparation of 
      three-dimensional (3-D) MOF-derived carbons for supercapacitor applications. This 
      Account will be divided into three main sections: (1) useful background on carbon 
      materials for supercapacitor applications, (2) the importance of MOF-derived 
      carbons, and (3) potential future developments of MOF-derived carbons for 
      supercapacitors. This Account focuses mostly on carbons derived from two types of 
      MOFs, namely, zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and ZIF-67. By using 
      examples from our previous works, we will show the uniqueness of these carbons 
      for achieving high performance by control of the chemical reactions/conditions as 
      well proper utilization in asymmetric/symmetric supercapacitor configurations. 
      This Account will promote further developments of MOF-derived multifunctional 
      carbon materials with controlled porous architectures for optimization of their 
      electrochemical performance toward supercapacitor applications.
