Abstract

MOF derived porous carbon materials have emerged as a research hotspot in recent years due to its exceptional properties like high electrical conductivity, large specific surface area, presence of numerous accessible active sites, high porosity etc. which endows them with diverse applications. The unique properties associated with derived material are inherited from the precursor MOF and the provision of in situ heteroatom doping into the carbon structure further enhances its properties specific to diverse applications. In this review, we discuss the recent advancements in MOF derived carbon focusing on its properties and electrocatalytic applications. In the first part, an overview of the unique properties, methods to regulate the morphology and composition, and the structure of MOF derived carbon materials are discussed. Then, the application of MOF derived carbon as a promising electrode material for electrochemical sensing as well as electrocatalytic process focusing on OER and HER are explained in detail. Furthermore, the challenges that need to be addressed and future aspects of MOF derived carbon research are presented.
