: Photocatalytic degradation is an energy-efficient, cost-effective, and stable process that has a wide-range of applications. It is considered a promising method for the removal of organic pollutants. As a new type of porous materials, Metal-organic framework (MOF) composites have been proven to be an ideal catalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants due to their small size and large specific surface area. In this review, several common preparation methods of MOF composites are evaluated:microwave synthesis, solvent-thermal method, electrochemical method and layer by layer growth method. The degradation effects of MOF composites on different organic pollutants are summarized, and the excellent photocatalytic performances of some MOF composites are demonstrated. Finally, the prospect of photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants by MOF composites is examined, and the challenges of further development of MOF composites are discussed.

In recent years, optical and electronic properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have increasingly shifted into the focus of interest of the scientific community. Here, we discuss a strategy for conveniently tuning these properties through electrostatic design. More specifically, based on quantum-mechanical simulations, we suggest an approach for creating a gradient of the electrostatic potential within a MOF thin film, exploiting collective electrostatic effects. With a suitable orientation of polar apical linkers, the resulting non-centrosymmetric packing results in an energy staircase of the frontier electronic states reminiscent of the situation in a pin-photodiode. The observed one dimensional gradient of the electrostatic potential causes a closure of the global energy gap and also shifts core-level energies by an amount equaling the size of the original band gap. The realization of such assemblies could be based on so-called pillared layer MOFs fabricated in an oriented fashion on a solid substrate employing layer by layer growth techniques. In this context, the simulations provide guidelines regarding the design of the polar apical linker molecules that would allow the realization of MOF thin films with the (vast majority of the) molecular dipole moments pointing in the same direction.

Homogeneous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based optical thin films have attracted increasing attention, since they can potentially be used as active components in optical/opt-electrical devices, and how to fabricate MOF thin films with high quality is the premise of practically using them. Herein, five fabrication methods of MOF films are systematically investigated and compared from the aspects of appearance, reflectivity, micro-morphology, surface roughness, and optical properties of the films. The famous robust Zr-based MOF, UiO-66 (UiO = University of Oslo) is chosen as a model, and the five methods are spin-coating, dip-coating, self-assembly, direct growth, and the stepwise layer by layer growth method. This study provides fundamental support for the application of MOFs in the optical field.
