title = "Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as potential hybrid ferroelectric materials",
abstract = "This chapter presents new findings of intrinsic and induced ferroelectricity in Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with a polar system, capable of forming an electronic structure in an asymmetric lattice. Multiple experimental techniques and simulation methods are reviewed in detail. The characteristics of ferroelectrics such as discontinuity in temperature-dependent dielectric constant, polarization hysteresis loops, etc. have been observed from several MOF large crystals and crystalline powders. A relationship between polarization and bond polarity for MOFs has been established. In addition, we emphasize the significance of mechanical strength of MOFs in real applications. This chapter reviews MOF materials for energy storage and utilization, aiming to provide an insight into the design of novel MOF-based ferroelectrics.",
