Comparative Review: Methods of Synthesis, Physiochemical Properties, Performance, and Future Trends of Zeolites and ZIFs ‐Derived Materials in Electrochemical Applications

ABSTRACT Zeolites and Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) derived materials are currently efficient platforms in electrochemical applications because of their large surface area, chemical stability, and adjustable porosity. In order to cover the needs in electrochemical applications, the synthesis methods including hydrothermal, solvothermal, mechanochemical, template‐assisted, and post‐synthetic modification routes are discussed in this review. And the electrochemical performance of these ZIFs and zeolite‐based materials is highlighted in several kinds of fields, which include electrochemical sensing, energy storage, electrocatalysis, including oxygen evolution/reduction (ORR/OER), hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), CO 2 conversion, and environmental electrochemistry. The future potential of ZIFs and zeolite‐based composites as next‐generation hybrid electrodes is made clear by the combination of their structure, modifications on the surface, and electrochemical performance. This article deliberates the synthesis, applications, and performance of ZIFs and Zeolite‐based materials deeper in electrochemical studies. To achieve the development of efficient electrochemical systems, the current limitations, challenges, strategies, and their future trends are examined, and the electrochemical performance of Zeolites and ZIFs with the comparative evaluation are debated finally.
