The accumulation of pollutants in water is dangerous for the environment and human lives. Some of them are considered as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that cannot be eliminated from wastewater effluent. Thus, many researchers have devoted their efforts to improving the existing technology or providing an alternative strategy to solve this environmental problem. One of the attractive materials for this purpose are metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their superior high surface area, high porosity, and the tunable features of their structures and function. This review provides an up-to-date and comprehensive description of MOFs and their crucial role as adsorbent, catalyst, and membrane in wastewater treatment. This study also highlighted several strategies to improve their capability to remove pollutants from water effluent.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have aroused great interest in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology particularly in biomedical domains, such as Drug Delivery System (DDS), Biomedical Imaging (BI) and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). As an emerging material, MOFs possess extraordinarily high surface area, controllable particle size and good biocompatibility. With extraordinary flexibility in the selection of organic and inorganic components, MOFs can rationally be tuned to obtain the materials having versatile structures and porosities. MOFs can serve as ideal vehicles for DDS, BI and PDT through modification and function. In this review, we summarized the design and synthetic strategies for preparing MOFs and introduced their recent advanced usage in DDS, BI and PDT. Finally, the prospect and future challenges of these nanomaterials are also documented.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline solids whose frameworks are constituted by metal ions/nodes with rigid organic linkers leading to the formation of materials having high surface area and pore volume. One of the unique features of MOFs is the presence of coordinatively unsaturated metal sites in their crystalline lattice that can act as Lewis acid sites promoting organic transformations, including aerobic oxidation reactions of various substrates such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, and sulfides. This review article summarizes the existing Co-based MOFs for oxidation reactions organized according to the nature of substrates like hydrocarbon, alcohol, olefin, and water. Both aerobic conditions and peroxide oxidants are discussed. Emphasis is placed on comparing the advantages of using MOFs as solid catalysts with respect to homogeneous salts in terms of product selectivity and long-term stability. The final section provides our view on future developments in this field.

Abstract The high porosity, controllable size, high surface area, and chemical versatility of a metal-organic framework (MOF) enable it a good material for a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), and some MOFs have been incorporated in the fabrication of TENGs. However, the understanding of effects of MOFs on the energy conversion of a TENG is still lacking, which inhibits the improvement of the performance of MOF-based TENGs. Here, UiO-66-NH2 MOFs were found to significantly increase the power of a TENG and the mechanism was carefully examined. The electron-withdrawing ability of Zr-based UiO-66-family MOFs was enhanced by designing the amino functionalized 1,4-terephthalic acid (1,4-BDC) as ligand. The chemically modified UiO-66-NH2 was found to increase the surface roughness and surface potential of a composite film with MOFs embedded in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. Thus the total charges due to the contact electrification increased significantly. The composite-based TENG was found to be very durable and its output voltage and current were 4 times and 60 times higher than that of a PDMS-based TENG. This work revealed an effective strategy to design MOFs with excellent electron-withdrawing abilities for high-performance TENGs.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composed by coordination bonds between metal ion with organic linker has a uniform combination of micro and mesoporous structures has been used for several application including battery supercapacitor hybrid. (BSH). In BSH, MOF offer several advantages including high surface area, porous, and structure tunability. This paper reports the synthesis of ternary MOF of copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid. The Co/Cu/Ni-MOF is synthesized using hydrothermal method at 160 °C for 12h and further develop as a BSH electrode. The physicochemical properties of MOF were characterized using FESEM, FTIR, XRD, BET and the electrochemical properties were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), charge-discharge cycling (CDC) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Electrochemical analysis indicated that the MOF has high specific capacitance (CS) of 591 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 and 519 F g-1 at scan rate of 2 mV s-1, and possess low series resistance (RS) of 0.44 Ω and equivalent distributed resistance (Rd) of 1.07 Ω.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are an attractive class of hybrid materials with metal clusters and organic linkers. The unusual properties of MOFs, such as permanent nanoscale porosity, high surface area, uniformly structured cavities and the availability of in-pore functionality and outer-surface modification, are advantageous using as lipase immobilization platform. Herein, we covalent immobilized CALB onto MOFs and then evaluated the biocatalyst performance in the esterification of oleic acid with methanol for biodiesel production. Experimental data about the methanolysis process was evaluated by response surface methodology. The highest yield of 98.9 ± 0.4% was obtained under the optimized conditions: methanol/oil ratio of 3.65:1, a reaction temperature of 46.3 °C, a CALB@MOF loading of 117.77 mg and a reaction time of 11.55 h, which was closed to the predicted value (100.00%). Verification experiment confirmed the validity of the predicted model.
