Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are structurally complex structures constructed from inorganic and organic components. MOFs are highly ordered porous structures with special characteristics, such as high thermal stability, tunable surface properties, and large surface area. The MOFs demonstrate a wider range of potential applications in adsorption, gas storage, catalysis, drug delivery and sensing. As a result, the research in the area of MOFs is experiencing rapid growth. Considering the promising prospects of MOFs, this chapter presents an overview of the general synthesis and characterization methods for MOFs. Besides, the applications of MOFs in adsorption, sensing, and catalysis are also highlighted.
