Recent advances in the application of metal organic frameworks using in advanced oxidation progresses for pollutants degradation

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) materials with highly ordered and porous crystalline structure, have excellent performance in advanced oxidation progresses (AOPs) for organic contaminants degradation in water treatment. This review intends to summarize the timely references and insights for the recent advances in MOFs that are used in AOPs. Starting with the preparation methodologies, including conventional hydrothermal method, electrochemical method, sol-gel method, and emerging microwave and ultrasound assisted synthesis methods. Application and mechanism for MOFs using in various AOPs of Fenton-like, photocatalysis, catalytic ozonation, persulfate catalysis and other emerging oxidation methods are emphatically discussed. We hope this review can comprehensively summarize the research and application progress of MOFs in AOPs, deepen the understanding of the catalytic mechanisms. Application and mechanism of MOFs in emerging AOPs such as Fenton-like, photocatalysis, catalytic ozonation and persulfate catalysis is reviewed in detail.
