Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have been important electrochemical energy storage (EES) materials because of their rich species, large specific surface area, high porosity and rich active sites. Nevertheless, the poor conductivity, low mechanical and electrochemical stability of pristine MOFs have hindered their further applications. Although single component MOF derivatives have higher conductivity, self‐aggregation often occurs during preparation. Composite design can overcome the shortcomings of MOFs and derivatives and create synergistic effects, resulting in improved electrochemical properties for EES. In this review, recent applications of MOF composites and derivatives as electrodes in different types of batteries and supercapacitors are critically discussed. The advantages, challenges, and future perspectives of MOF composites and derivatives have been given. This review may guide the development of high‐performance MOF composites and derivatives in the field of EES. Recent applications of metal–organic framework (MOF) composites and derivatives as electrodes in different types of batteries and supercapacitors are presented. Effective material design strategies are raised for obtaining high‐performance MOF composites for electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices. The current issues and future perspectives of MOF composites and derivatives in the field have been given to guide their development in future.
