Trends in the energy and environmental applications of metal–organic framework-based materials

Abstract

Over the past 20 years, metal–organic framework (MOF) nanosheets have garnered a great deal of interest in the fields of energy and environmental management because of their inherent extraordinary qualities. These qualities include the vast surface areas, nanoscale and tunable pore sizes, adaptable structures and functions, good thermal and chemical stability, high aspect ratios, more exposed accessible active sites, flexible functionality, high electrical conductivity, and optical transparency. An overview of the current advancements in the applications of MOF-based materials in environmental science and renewable energy is provided in this review. Precisely, the advancements, advantages, history and characterization of MOF-based materials are first presented and discussed. Next, we focused on the use of MOF-based materials in the fields of environmental cleaning and monitoring, particularly for the treatment of wastewater and air purification, and energy storage and conversion. We concluded by summarizing the findings on the current state-of-the-art advancements and sharing the perspectives on the prospects and problems facing future research on MOF-based materials.
