Metal-Organic Frameworks for Emerging Thermoelectric Applications

초록

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as highly promising porous materials for various applications due to their exceptional porosity, large surface areas, and tunable functional properties. Recently, MOFs have garnered attention as potential thermoelectric materials that convert heat into electricity, offering environmentally friendly energy solutions. This perspective highlights recent research on thermoelectric MOFs and MOF-based composites, exploring synthesis methods and strategies for enhancing their thermoelectric performance and future directions. Herein, in this article, the design and synthetic strategies of MOFs as new promising candidates for thermoelectric applications are focused on. Their components, such as metal clusters and ligands, can be tuned, and both the inner pores and outer surface environment can be functionalized with conducting materials.image (c) 2024 WILEY-VCH GmbH
