Porous organic frameworks (POFs), including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and hydrogen-bonded frameworks (HOFs), have become research and development hotspots in the field of metal-ion batteries (MIBs) because of their unique structures, variable pore sizes, high specific surface areas, abundant active sites and customizable frameworks. These natural advantages of POF materials provide sufficient conditions for high-performance electrode materials for MIBs. However, some POF-based materials are still in the early stages of development, and more efforts are needed to make them competitive in practical applications. This updated review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the application of POF-based materials for MIBs, including lithium-ion, sodium-ion, potassium-ion, zinc-ion, aluminum-ion and calcium-ion batteries. In addition, advanced characterization technologies and computational simulation techniques, including machine learning, are reviewed. The main challenges and prospects of the application of POF-based materials in MIBs are briefly discussed, which can provide insights into the design and synthesis of high-performance electrode materials.
