This review discusses cutting-edge research on using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives to improve the properties of energy storage active materials, with particular emphasis on pseudocapacitors and hybrid supercapacitors. This study presents novel methodologies for synthesizing MOF-based nano/micromaterials with distinct morphologies and structures, including anion exchange strategies and co-axial electrospinning processes. This review introduces case studies that demonstrate the superior performance of these materials as anodes in various energy storage applications, including lithium-ion capacitors and batteries. Furthermore, this study investigated the potential of MOF-based materials for zinc-ion hybrid capacitors and supercapacitors, emphasizing favorable electrochemical characteristics. This study emphasizes the ability of MOF-based materials to overcome the constraints of traditional electrode materials, providing insights into enhancing the charge storage and diffusion characteristics for improved electrochemical performance. These results have significant potential for expanding energy storage technology, assisting renewable energy integration, supporting grid stabilization, and optimizing portable electronics. This review emphasizes the value of multidisciplinary collaboration in materials science, chemistry, and engineering for translating findings into practical applications and successfully addressing global energy concerns.
