The focus of discussion of this review is the application of the most recent synthesized hydrophobic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The most promising hydrophobic MOFs are mentioned with their applications and discussed. The various MOFs considered are sub-sectioned into the main application areas, namely alcohol adsorption and oil/water-alcohol/water separation, gas separation and storage, and other applications such as self-cleaning and liquid marbles. Again, the methods of synthesis are briefly described, showing how the features of the end product aid in their applications. The efficiency of the MOF materials and synthesis methods are highlighted and briefly discussed. Lastly, the summary and outlook section concludes the write-up giving suggestions that would be useful to present-day researchers.

The most important environmental challenge that the world is facing today is the control of the quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere, because it causes global warming. Increase in the global temperature results in greenhouse gas emission, interruption of the volcanic activity, and climatic changes. The alarming rise of the CO2 level impels to take some serious action to control these climatic changes. Various techniques are being utilized to capture CO2. However, chemical absorption and adsorption are supposed to be the most suitable techniques for post-combustion CO2 capture, but the main focus is on adsorption. The aim of this study is to provide a brief overview on the CO2 adsorption by a novel class of adsorbents called the metal–organic framework. The metal–organic framework is a porous material having high surface area with high CO2 adsorption capacity. The metal–organic frameworks possess dynamic structure and have large capacity to adsorb CO2 at either low pressure or high pressure due to its cavity size and surface area. Adsorption of CO2 in the metal–organic framework at various pressures depends upon pore volume and heat of adsorption correspondingly. In this review, different synthesis methods of the metal–organic framework such as slow evaporation, solvo thermal, mechanochemical, electrochemical, sonochemical, and microwave-assisted synthesis are briefly described as the structure of the metal–organic frameworks are mostly dependent upon synthesis techniques. In addition to this, different strategies are discussed to increase the CO2 adsorption capacity in the metal organic-framework. [Formula: see text]
