Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have several benefits over crystalline materials but they can have environmental concerns and expensive synthesis costs. Utilizing a green preparation approach would lower manufacturing costs, as well as ecological expenses, energy consumption, and the usage of hazardous organic solvents. Therefore, to minimize negative effects on the environment and the economy, the most favored method of synthesis involves replacing toxic organic solvents with aqueous solutions. This book chapter summarizes the origin of MOFs and their brief classification based on porosity. Various green methods have been presented for the sustainable development of MOFs, emphasizing water-based routes for MOF synthesis. There are a plethora of applications shown by MOF; however, few important applications have been briefly discussed. There is also an overview of future challenges and outlooks associated with the commercialization of MOFs. Our study aims to provide information necessary for future industrial applications of MOFs that will be green, sustainable, and industrially acceptable.
