Due　to　controlling　CO2　emissions　and　climate　changes　from　the　burning　of　fossil　fuels,　the　growing　renewable　energy　storage　systems　are　the　most　crucial　tasks　for　power　application.　Supercapacitors　have　gained　extensive　concentration　as　green　energy　storage　systems　from　their　rapid　charge-discharge,　superb　power　density,　inexpensive,　less　weight,　and　good　long-term　stability.　However,　the　large-scale　application　of　supercapacitors　is　hindered　from　their　low　energy　density　and　low　stability　in　strong　alkaline　solutions.　Therefore,　it　is　essential　to　construct　new　electrode　materials　with　excellent　capacitive　and　long-term　durability.　In　the　past　few　decades,　metal-organic　frameworks　(MOFs)　have　been　acknowledged　as　potential　porous　crystalline　materials　for　energy　application　ascribed　to　their　large　surface　area,　superb　porosity　and　convenient　surface　structures.　MOFs　are　also　played　as　excellent　carbon　sources　to　achieve　highly　porous　carbon　materials.　Therefore,　in　the　present　review,　the　modern　developments　of　MOFs-derived　porous　carbons　for　supercapacitors　are　presented　in　detail.　Especially,　we　focused　on　the　discussion　about　the　preparation　of　porous　carbon　from　Zn　and　Al-based　MOFs　and　their　noteworthy　impact　in　the　supercapacitors　applications.　At　last,　we　discussed　the　current　challenges　and　further　prospects　for　the　developing　MOF-derived　carbon　materials　in　order　to　develop　high-performance　energy　storage　devices.
