Abstract:Since the 1990s, the preparation and application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted extensive research and reporting. As a hot topic in the research field of new materials, MOFs materials demonstrate advantages such as high specific surface area, high porosity, and high thermal stability, and find wide applications in numerous fields like adsorption separation, catalysis, and energy storage. The preparation method directly influences the morphology and properties of MOFs materials, and efficient, environmentally friendly, and green preparation methods represent the prevailing trend. This paper first introduces the traditional preparation methods of MOFs materials, including hydrothermal/solvothermal method, ultrasonic method, microwave method, electrochemical method, and mechanical synthesis method, etc. It briefly describes novel MOFs preparation methods represented by vapor deposition method, interface synthesis method, and microfluidic method, and summarizes the advantages, disadvantages, and application scopes of different synthesis methods. Subsequently, it focuses on reviewing the latest research progress in the applications of MOFs materials in fields such as adsorption separation, energy storage, catalysis, and biomedicine. Finally, it provides an outlook on three future development directions of MOFs materials, namely the research on rapid, green, and large - scale preparation and application mechanisms, and the construction of composite materials.
