Heterostructures are a novel class of advanced materials have attracted considerable attention because they combine components with different structures and properties, exhibiting unique activity and function due to synergistic interactions at the interface. Over the last decade, there has been increasing research interest in constructing advanced heterostructures nanomaterials possessing efficient charge/ion transportation, optimize ion absorption behavior and rich accessible active sites for electrochemical energy storage (EES). Nonetheless, the conventional methodology for constructing heterostructures typically involves the self-assembly of active materials and conductive components, which poses significant challenges in achieving large-scale, uniformly atomically matched interfaces. Moreover, the development of heterostructures via transformation of the printine material into distinct phases can effectively address this limitation. Based on this, Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of porous materials with an inherently large surface area, uniform and adjustable cavities, and customizable chemical properties, have been widely used as precursors or templates for the preparation of heterostructure materials. Although there are some previous reviews on MOF-derived heterostructures for EES, they rarely focus on the structural engineering of MOF-derived heterostructures materials and their advanced characterization for EES. In this review, we summarize and discuss recent progress in the design and structural engineering (including morphology engineering, heteroatom doping, and defect engineering) of MOF-derived heterostructures and their applications in EES (e.g., supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, aluminum-ion batteries, aqueous Zn-ion batteries, etc.). The review concludes with a perspective on the remaining challenges and potential opportunities for future research.
异质结构是一类新型的先进材料，因其将具有不同结构和性质的组分结合在一起，在界面处通过协同相互作用展现出独特的活性和功能，故而备受关注。在过去十年中，人们对构建具有高效电荷/离子传输、优化离子吸收行为以及丰富可及活性位点的先进异质结构纳米材料用于电化学储能（EES）的研究兴趣与日俱增。尽管如此，构建异质结构的传统方法通常涉及活性材料和导电组分的自组装，这在实现大规模、均匀原子匹配的界面方面带来了重大挑战。此外，通过将母体材料转变为不同相来开发异质结构能够有效解决这一限制。基于此，金属有机框架（MOF）作为一类具有固有大表面积、均匀且可调节的孔洞以及可定制化学性质的多孔材料，已被广泛用作制备异质结构材料的前驱体或模板。尽管此前已有一些关于用于EES的MOF衍生异质结构的综述，但它们很少关注MOF衍生异质结构材料的结构工程及其用于EES的先进表征。在本综述中，我们总结并讨论了MOF衍生异质结构在设计和结构工程（包括形貌工程、杂原子掺杂和缺陷工程）方面的最新进展及其在EES（如超级电容器、锂离子电池、钠离子电池、铝离子电池、水系锌离子电池等）中的应用。综述最后展望了剩余挑战以及未来研究的潜在机遇。
