Abstract
The use of conductive MOFs (c‐MOFs) in zinc‐based batteries has been a popular research direction. Zinc‐based batteries are widely used with the advantages of high specific capacity and safety and stability, but they also face many problems. c‐MOFs have excellent conductivity compared with other primitive MOFs, and therefore have better applications in zinc‐based batteries. In this paper, the transfer mechanisms of the unique charges of c‐MOFs: hop transport and band transport, respectively, are discussed and the way of electron transport is further addressed. Then, the various ways to prepare c‐MOFs are introduced, among which solvothermal, interfacial synthesis, and postprocessing methods are widely used. In addition, the applications of c‐MOFs are discussed in terms of their role and performance in different types of zinc‐based batteries. Finally, the current problems of c‐MOFs and the prospects for their future development are presented.
