Recent advances in metal–organic frameworks for water absorption and their applications

Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising water adsorbents with a controllable absorption humidity range, superior water capacity, and tailorable regeneration conditions.

Zirconium-based metal–organic frameworks: the relation between linker connectivity, structure stability, and catalytic activity towards organophosphates

“…These advantages, together with their porosity, high specific surface area, 8,9 and tuneability of their properties, 10 predetermine MOFs for a broad spectrum of potential applications, e.g. gas storage and separation, 11–13 separation of volatile organic compounds, 14 adsorption of pollutants from liquids, 15,16 drug delivery and cancer therapy, 17,18 energy applications, 19 water harvesting and storage, 20,21 sensing, 22,23 and catalysis. 24,25…”
