MOF-derived carbons for environmental applications in Photocatalytic degradation of contaminants from aqueous solution. A mini review

MOFs are a type of porous material that exhibits high structural stability due to the strong and reversible coordination bonds between metal ions or clusters and organic ligands. Nevertheless, many MOFs are not particularly stable, which hinders their application for the remediation of environmental contaminants. Recent researches have shown that carbons derived from metal-organic frameworks maintain their initial structural and morphological characteristics, in addition to displaying remarkable stability in aqueous environments. The utilization of carbon materials derived from MOFs holds considerable promise in terms of their performance as adsorbents and catalysts, given their multitude of advantages. In this essay, we outline the properties of MOF-derived carbon, and provide an overview of the synthesis procedures used to generate MOF derived, such as direct carbonization, and Post-processing of MOFs. finally, investigate their practical applications in the field of photocatalytic and advanced oxidative degradation of environmental contaminants.
