The metal organic framework in environment applications

Abstract

With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the growing demand for energy, environmental protection and life safety, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become an important material in today’s world. MOFs consist of metal ions or metal clusters coordinated with organic ligands with highly porous and tunable chemical properties, which provide a unique platform for environmental applications. Precise pore size screening and functional site design enable them to effectively adsorb, filter and catalyse the degradation of harmful pollutants. This ability to target specific pollutants makes MOFs an efficient tool for water purification, contributing significantly to the protection of our aquatic ecosystems.With high porosity and high specific surface area, MOFs can significantly improve the efficiency and stability of hydrogen storage, thereby addressing key challenges associated with the development of new energy industries. Such innovations are critical in the search for sustainable energy solutions and the transition to a greener future.MOFs can also be used to ensure the safety of life.MOFs are valuable in a variety of industrial environments due to their ability to trap, separate and degrade volatile organic compounds.
