Abstract

The everyday needs of humanity can no longer be met by traditional materials due to advancements in science and technology. These days, the main objective is to produce materials with increased usefulness, superior performance, and recyclability. Because of their high specific surface area and porosity, easily functionalizable pore structure, and customizable pore structure, metal-organic skeletons (MOFs) represent a novel class of porous materials with a wide variety of applications in the energy, environment, and biomedical sectors. Therefore, this paper summaries the latest research progress in the study of MOFs. Firstly, the paper introduces the basic features of MOFs, including metal centers and organic ligands, and discusses the tunability of these modules for the geometrical and chemical properties of MOFs. Then, the main synthetic methods of MOFs are summarized, including solvothermal synthesis, electrochemical synthesis, and microbiome-assisted synthesis. Finally, the paper also highlights the applications of MOFs in gas storage/separation, biomedicine, and environmental protection. It aims to provide some reference significance for the future development direction of MOFs.
