The present analysis focuses on the synthetic methods used for the application of supercapacitors with various mysterious architectures derived from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). ZIFs represent an emerging and unique class of metal-organic frameworks with structures similar to conventional aluminosilicate zeolites, consisting of imidazolate linkers and metal ions. Their intrinsic porous properties, robust functionalities, and excellent thermal and chemical stabilities have resulted in a wide range of potential applications for various ZIF materials. In this rapidly expanding area, energetic research activities have emerged in the past few years, ranging from synthesis approaches to attractive applications of ZIFs. In this analysis, the development of high-performance supercapacitor electrodes and recent strategies to produce them, including the synthesis of various heterostructures and nanostructures, are analyzed and summarized. This analysis goes the ingenuity of modern science when it comes to these nanoarchitecture electrodes. Despite these significant achievements, it is still difficult to accurately monitor the morphologies of materials derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) because the induction force during structural transformations at elevated temperatures is in high demand. It is also desirable to achieve the direct synthesis of highly functionalized nanosized materials derived from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and the growth of nanoporous structures based on ZIFs encoded in specific substrates for the construction of active materials with a high surface area suitable for electrochemical applications. The latest improvements in this field of supercapacitors with materials formed from ZIFs as electrodes using ZIFs as templates or precursors are discussed in this review. Also, the possibility of usable materials derived from ZIFs for both existing and emerging energy storage technologies is discussed.
本分析聚焦于用于应用具有源自沸石咪唑酯骨架（ZIFs）的各种神秘结构的超级电容器的合成方法。ZIFs代表一类新兴且独特的金属有机骨架，其结构类似于传统的铝硅酸盐沸石，由咪唑酯连接体和金属离子组成。它们固有的多孔性质、强大的功能以及出色的热稳定性和化学稳定性，使得各种ZIF材料具有广泛的潜在应用。在这个迅速发展的领域中，过去几年出现了大量积极的研究活动，从合成方法到ZIFs的引人注目的应用。在本分析中，对高性能超级电容器电极的发展以及生产它们的最新策略进行了分析和总结，包括各种异质结构和纳米结构的合成。本分析探讨了现代科学在这些纳米结构电极方面的独创性。尽管取得了这些重大成就，但由于在高温下结构转变期间的诱导力要求很高，仍然难以准确监测源自金属有机骨架（MOFs）的材料的形态。还期望实现直接合成源自沸石咪唑酯骨架（ZIFs）的高度功能化纳米材料，以及基于编码在特定基材中的ZIFs生长纳米多孔结构，以构建具有适合电化学应用的高表面积的活性材料。本综述讨论了在以ZIFs为电极材料、以ZIFs为模板或前驱体的超级电容器领域的最新进展。此外，还讨论了源自ZIFs的可用材料用于现有和新兴储能技术的可能性。
