| Summary: | Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), assembled by metal ions or their clusters and organic linkers, are one of the state-of-the-art crystalline materials. Their features such as ultra-high porosity, synthetic tailorability and relative ease of synthesis make them promising candidates for diversified applications. Controllable integration of MOFs and carbon-based materials not only leads to further enhancement of single-phase MOFs in terms of stability and electrical conductivity, but also surprisingly brings about a number of new functionalities like formation of new pores and template effects. These benefits allow the resultant MOF-carbon composites to be applied beyond the fields of single-phase MOFs. Increasing research interests have been aroused in this rapidly developing interdisciplinary area. This review aims to specifically group together the important reports focused on MOF-carbon composites till now. The methods used for composite synthesis and applications of the composites are investigated and categorized. The review also exclusively discusses the functionalities stemming from the synergistic effects of the two intriguing materials and pictures the future prospects at the end.
This review summarizes the recent progress in preparations, functionalities and applications of composites of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and carbon-based materials. |

| Bibliography: | Jiang-Liang Hu received his BS (2010) and MS (2013) degrees from Luoyang Normal University and Taiyuan University of Technology, respectively. He is currently a PhD student under the guidance of Prof. Shu-Dong Wang at DNL in DICP. His research focuses on the design and synthesis of porous materials and their application in gas storage and separation. ca. Xiao-Wei Liu was born in Anqing, P. R. China in 1990. He received his BS degree from the Hefei University of Technology in 2013. He then became a PhD candidate under the supervision of Prof. Shu-Dong Wang at the Dalian National Laboratory for Clean Energy (DNL) in the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Now his research focuses on the adsorption and separation of methane-containing gas mixtures on microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MOF-based composites. Tian-Jun Sun received his PhD degree from the Dalian University of Technology (DTU) in 2008 under the guidance of Prof. Jie-Shan (Jason) Qiu. He then started his career as a Research Scientist in DICP and was appointed Associate Professor in 2011. Currently, he is a Senior Researcher in DICP and his research interests focus on clean energy-related catalysis and adsorption, especially in the fields of high-temperature-resistant catalysts, microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MOF-based composites, structured materials and chemical process intensification. Shu-Dong Wang received his PhD degree under the supervision of Prof. Shu-Cai Guo from DTU in 1993. He then joined DICP and became a professor in 1997. He has also been a Visiting Professor at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Japan) and Université de Poitiers (France) several times. Now he is the director of the Division of Energy & Environmental Engineering in DICP. His research involves gas separation and storage, gas pollution control, structured catalysts and chemical engineering system integration. He has published over 100 papers in international peer-reviewed journals and owns over 100 patents among which 40 of them have been authorized.
