“…Industrial wastewater and emerging organic contaminants(EOCs) in sewage mainly include aromatic HC's, dyes, pesticides, and harmful chemicals that are toxic to humans, plants, and animals. Complexity in the structure of EOCs in water, such as chlorination, extraction, degradation, biodegradation, and inorganic heterogeneous catalysis, is challenging nowadays [139]. There is a need to modify design-based MOFs such as MOF membranes not only to have the structural features of MOF powder material but it will also to overcome secondary pollutants [140].…”

BackgroundMetal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for next‐generation batteries due to their unique properties such as high surface area, tuneable pore size, and composition.ObjectiveThis review explored the comprehensive summary of MOF‐based electrode materials, their synthetic ways and applications for batteries.MethodsFor example, solvothermal synthesis is commonly used for generating large MOF crystals, while hydrothermal synthesis is often used for synthesizing highly porous MOFs for energy storage devices. Herein, the synthetic strategies and applications of MOFs and their composites in batteries and supercapacitors are introduced.ResultsOur findings demonstrate that MOFs have the potential to revolutionize the field of batteries and open new possibilities for designing next‐generation batteries with improved performance and safety.ConclusionHowever, further research is needed to overcome the challenges and fully realize the potential of MOFs in batteries and it will contribute to forward advancement of pristine MOFs with excellent electrochemical behavior.

Environmental pollution by petrochemical plastic is a matter of serious global concern. Several microbes have the potential to degrade synthetic polymers with the aid of various genes, enzymes, and metabolic pathways. However, the biodegradation of petrochemical plastics by natural microbes is inherently slow. The slow rate of degradation stems from the high molecular weight, strong chemical bonding, and extremely hydrophobic nature of polymer, all of which hinder biodegradability. Nevertheless, the role of genes, enzymes, and interactions between microbes and plastic as a substrate has been inadequately explored. Notably, several biotechnological approaches (such as synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and bioinformatics tools) have been developed for the efficient biodegradation of synthetic polymers. Further, exploiting the degradative potential of microbes, plastic wastes can be utilized as feedstock for the production of high value compounds. This will not only avert environmental pollution but would also facilitate waste management and circular economy. However, the major limitations to these approaches are lack of experimental validations in real world. In this regard, the present review provides a comprehensive assessment of the biotechnological and molecular advancement in plastic biodegradation to facilitate a better understanding of the role of microbes, genes, enzymes, and biodegradation pathways in plastic mineralization.
