Recent advances on core-shell metal-organic frameworks for energy storage applications: Controlled assemblies and design strategies.

[Display omitted] • State of the art information on core–shell MOF-based supercapacitors and batteries are explored. • CSMOF structures are discussed separately in terms of properties, synthesis and their types. • CSMOF structures for supercapacitors are compared in terms of specific capacitance, capacitance retention, energy density, and self-discharge. • CSMOF structures for batteries are compared in terms of reversible capacity, initial discharge capacity, and cyclic stability. • Besides Li-ion batteries, CSMOFs are also reviewed for Na-ion, K-ion, Li-S, Li-Se, and Li-O 2 batteries. • Critical assessment and future aspects are also explored for CSMOF based energy storage devices. Core-shell metal–organic framework (CSMOF) has attracted the attention of researchers in the material science and nanotechnology research field. The structural properties of CSMOF and their derived material include extortionate specific surface area and porosity, good structural flexibility, high stability, etc. These appealing properties make CSMOF a great alternative for various practical applications. CSMOF has shown great performance as an electrode material for energy storage applications. This review is primarily focused on the factor affecting the assemblies and synthesis of core shell structures, strategy to control the assemblies, synthesis methods, and properties of different CSMOFs for energy storage devices viz. supercapacitors (SC) and batteries. After that, different CSMOF structures are compared in terms of their performance parameters for SC including specific capacitance, capacitance retention, cyclic stability, energy density, and self-discharge.On the other hand, reversible capacity, initial discharge capacity, and cyclic stability are a few performance parameters for Li-ion batteries that are also discussed for different materials.CSMOF's applications for some other batteries like Na-ion, K-ion, Li-S, Li-Se, and Li-O 2 will likewise be discussed in other sections. Eventually, the expansion and future scope of CSMOF and its derivatives are proposed for upcoming energy storage applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
