Recently,more　and　more　effort　has　been　devoted　to　exploring　metal-organic　frameworks　(MOFs)-based　materials　for　electrochemical　energy　storage　application　because　of　their　enormously　high　surface　areas,tunable　pore　size　and　diverse　structures.　This　article　summarized　recent　research　progress　of　pristine　MOFs,MOFs-composites　and　MOF-derived　materials　made　for　supercapacitors.　The　general　and　feasible　synthetic　strategies　for　the　design　and　fabrication　of　MOFs　based　supercapacitors,and　their　structural　diversity　and　electrochemical　properties　with　respect　to　capacitive　performance　were　demonstrated.　Finally,problems　of　MOF-based　supercapacitors　such　as　unstable　structure,weak　electronic　conductivity　and　limited　practical　applications　were　highlighted.　©　2016,　Chemical　Industry　Press.　All　right　reserved.
