Abstract

Metal-organic layers (MOLs) have attracted considerable interest in materials science because of their unique characteristics. The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of MOLs in synthesis and applications. Here we present a review of the latest research advances on MOLs. First, we introduce the two preparation approaches for MOLs, namely, the top-down and bottom-up approaches. Then, we discuss the applications of MOLs in gas separation, catalysis, energy catalysis and conversion, and chemical sensors, which emphasize the performance-morphologies/structures relationship of MOLs. At the end of this review, we provide an outlook on the opportunities and challenges of MOLs in the future.
