Abstract: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous architectures formed by the coordination of organic ligands with metal ions or clusters. MOFs are notable for their vast surface area, abundant active sites, high porosity, and tunable properties. However, their application in energy storage and catalysis is impeded by limited conductivity and chemical stability. A promising approach to mitigating these constraints is the integration of MOFs with other functional or conductive materials. MXenes, with their distinctive layered structure, exceptional electrical conductivity, and rich surface functional groups, provide numerous advantages when combined with MOFs. This review encapsulates the synthesis methodologies of MXene/MOF composites and explores their applications across various domains, including lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, lithium-sulfur batteries, zinc-ion batteries, electrocatalysts, and photocatalysts.
