Metal‐Organic Framework‐Based Materials for Zinc‐Halogen (Br 2 , I 2 ) Batteries: Mechanisms and Performance

ABSTRACT Zinc–bromine and zinc–iodine batteries have been widely regarded as promising systems for large‐scale energy storage, yet their practical application is currently hampered by slow redox reactions, low efficiency due to the shuttle effect, and zinc dendrite growth. In this review, we overview the contribution of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and MOF‐derived materials to overcoming these drawbacks. Two typical strategies are presented: assembling pristine MOFs as selective porous barriers to confine polyhalides and MOF‐templated carbon materials, including single‐atom catalysts for enhanced conductivities and fast charge transfer. We show that pristine MOFs exhibit interesting selectivity properties…
