Abstract

Fuel cells are emerging energy conversion devices that demonstrated promising results in different applications. The high cost and the degradation of the performance of the low temeperature fuel cells are the main challenges that hinder their widespread on the commercial scale. Metal-organic frameworks demonstrated promising results in different electrochemical energy conversion/storage devices including fuel cells. This article focuses on the recent advances of metal-organic framework (MOF) in the various components, i.e., electrodes and membrane, of the low temperature fuel cells. First, a brief background about the metal-organic frameworks, i.e., history, chemistry, and advantages, was introduced. Then, the progress done in the usage of the MOF and MOF-derived nanomaterials in the anode, cathode, and membrane of the fuel cells were displayed.
