Metal ion and organic ligand disubstituted bimetallic metal–organic framework nanosheets for high-performance alkaline zinc-based batteries

Abstract

Herein, a disubstitution strategy of metal ions and organic ligands is employed to synthesize metal–organic framework (MOF) nanosheets with a three-dimensional (3D) porous structure and a highly active metal–sulfur (M–S, M = Co and Ni) region. The obtained MOFs//Zn batteries exhibit excellent electrochemical properties and the electrochemical reaction mechanism was elucidated through a series of ex situ characterizations.
