Metal-Organic Framework for Selective Gas Scavenging

Selective gas adsorption plays an important role in adsorptive separation of gases and scavenging unfavorable or hazardous gases. The use of cost-effective and environmentally friendly materials for selective gas adsorption has become one of the most pressing needs today. The development of new adsorbents is essential but difficult due to the selectivity and efficiency requirements for practical application. As potential scavengers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn great attention. In this review, the current progress of science and technology development of MOFs on selective gas scavenging will be highlighted. Future perspectives for exploring MOFs for practical application will also be put forward.
