In recent years, MOF has been widely studied as new material. Due to its structure’s diversity, flexibility, and tunability, it is favoured by many scholars and has been used in many fields. However, due to the diversity of MOF types and the wide range of applications, there is a lack of systematic description of the application of MOF materials at present. This paper concluded several aspects of the application of MOF to close this loophole. In this paper, the preparation method including the gas-phase method, hydrothermal method, and liquid-phase epitaxy method of the MOF is introduced, then followed by the method of bringing metal nanoparticles into the prepared frame to make the doped MOF including the impregnation method and double solvent method, and then by adsorption, catalysis, and gas sensor, three aspects are briefly introduced MOF in these fields of application are introduced in these areas in different refining branch such as carbon monoxide adsorption, catalytic hydrogenation, and alkanes as nitric oxide gas sensor. Meanwhile, the challenges for this kind of material are long-term stability, heat resistance, and high cost. This paper is expected to summarize the application of MOF and hope it can bring more economic benefits and scientific value.
