Metal-organic framework–based materials and renewable energy

Abstract The design of new materials is necessary for the energy conversion from the renewable source of energy. Nanoarchitecture of materials can provide the requisite characteristics for this purpose. The oxygen reduction reaction can be improved with the use of new nanomaterials. The inorganic–organic platform of the metal-organic framework–based materials (MOFMs) provides a great display of new characteristics. Modeling the MOFMs with nanoarchitecture can show excellent credibility in the energy conversion systems. Hence, engineering MOFMs-nanoparticles (NPs) into 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D architecture can provide excellent stability, durability, and accessibility with fast pathways of transfer of masses and electrons. So the flexibility of the MOFMs in the energy conversion applications greatly depends on the nanoarchitecture. Especially the 3D skeleton of such MOFMs-NPs provide more active sites, better loading of the masses, high charge transport for the future application in the energy conversion from the renewable sources of energy.
