- Abstract
Rapid industrialization is deteriorating air and water quality by exposing life to a wide range of pollutants, thus calling for efficient and affordable remediation strategies. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging materials for environmental remediation applications due to their high surface area, ordered porous structure, and application-specific tailoring of properties. In particular, transition metal-based frameworks are advanced adsorbents and catalysts for the remediation of organic and gaseous pollutants. Physicochemical properties are mainly dependent on the choice of the metal center, the oxidation state, and organic linkers. Bimetallic-, polyoxometalate-, and metal oxide-incorporated frameworks find applications as photocatalysts for decontamination of dyes, phenolic compounds, pesticides and pharmaceutical drugs under ultraviolet (UV)/visible radiations. Large surface area coupled with high activity of transition metal frameworks allows the capture and removal of inorganic and volatile organic pollutants. Transition metal frameworks convert gaseous pollutants into value-added chemicals. Frameworks containing synthetic and natural fibers are currently studied to remove chemical warfare agents.
