N2 - Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as electrode material provide high active surface area and maximize the number of exposed active sites which are significant to boost the charge storage activity for supercapacitor (SC) applications. The nickel-containing bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (Ni-BMOFs) have turned out to be promising electroactive materials for SCs. The incorporation of Ni in the MOF framework enhances its intrinsic characteristics and generates substantial porosity and defects through the synergistic effects of both metals. However, the reaction mechanism and contribution of active sites of Ni-BMOFs are least explored owing to their heterogeneous nature. The review discusses the systematic exploration of the characteristics and structure-properties relation of Ni-BMOF for SCs. Moreover, a detailed in-depth charge-storage mechanistic insight and recent developments in pristine Ni-BMOFs, Ni-BMOF composites, and Ni-BMOF-derived materials are provided with a specific focus on the doping and metal synergistic effects for SCs applications. Meanwhile, major challenges, practical solutions, and potential future directions for Ni-BMOFs are also summarized. The present review showcases a roadmap for exploiting and commercializing Ni-BMOF-based model electroactive materials for next-generation SCs and various energy applications. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
