Description
Summary:Hollow metal–organic framework (MOF) micro/nanostructures and their derivatives are attracting a great amount of research interest in recent years because their hierarchical porous structures not only provide abundant, easily accessed metal sites but also endow 3D channels for rapid mass transport. As a result, they demonstrate significant advantages in many applications including catalysis, gas sensors, batteries, supercapacitors, and so on. Nevertheless, studies on hollow MOFs and their derivatives are still at the beginning of this field, and the relationship between their structures and application performances is not yet reviewed comprehensively. Herein, the synthetic strategies and practical applications of hollow micro/nanostructured MOFs and their derivatives are summarized, and their corresponding prospects are also discussed. Hollow metal–organic framework micro/nanostructures and their derivatives have demonstrated significant applications in the fields of catalysis, electrocatalysis, gas sensors, lithium‐ion batteries, and supercapacitors owing to their hierarchical porous properties and easily accessible metal active sites. The state‐of‐the art synthetic strategies and applications are summarized and discussed, providing a comprehensive overview of the current progress and future development of MOF‐based hollow materials.
