“…They have a crystalline structure, large surface area, high pore volume, tunable pore size, good adsorption capacity, good thermal and chemical stability, and flexibility, and are easy to functionalize and modify [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Due to their outstanding characteristics, they have been applied in many applications, such as selective adsorption [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], water and wastewater treatments [ 12 , 13 , 14 ], composite constituents [ 15 , 16 ], catalysts and photocatalysts [ 17 , 18 ], fluorescence sensors [ 1 , 19 ], gas storage and separation [ 20 , 21 ], and drug delivery [ 22 , 23 ]. In the last few decades, many types of MOFs have been studied and developed through various synthesis methods, including diffusion, solvo(hydro)thermal, microwave, electrochemical, mechanochemical and sonochemical methods [ 24 ].…”
