ON ELECTROCHEMICAL ACTIVITY OF ZN2(EDTA)(H2O) IN AQUEOUS SODIUM-ION BASED ELECTROLYTES

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of compounds consisting of metal ions or clusters coordinated to organic ligands to form one-, two-, or three-dimensional structures. Due to their high porosity and excellent adsorption and catalytic activity, as well as the ability to simultaneously implement different charge accumulation mechanisms (ions de/intercalation and adsorption/desorption), they can be considered as electrode materials for metal-ion batteries. However, a significant drawback is that most MOFs have low conductivity, and the obtaining of conducting MOFs is a costly, time-consuming and technically difficult process.
