Latest trends in the large-scale production of MOFs in accordance with the principles of green chemistry

Abstract

An increasing number of research groups are focusing on patents for the production of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) on a large scale. MOFs, due to their porous structure, have been used in industry and other fields for the catalysis, capture, and storage of gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. Due to the increasing number of European Union restrictions and the implementation of the idea of sustainable development, the basis for the evaluation of the chemical industry is the production of innovative, high-class materials according to the principles of green chemistry. In this review, we present the latest literature trends on the large-scale production of MOFs based on MIL, ZIF, UiO, BTC, NU, and HKUST using the principles of green chemistry. This manuscript is unique because it presents the trends on the latest patents from the most famous organometallic framework manufacturers including BASF, NuMat Technologies, novoMOF, MOF Apps, and MOF Technologies. Furthermore, it is an accessible collection of information for research centres. In addition, in this work, we present a critical review of the procedures for obtaining MOFs, considering the principles of green chemistry.
