Abstract

Metal-organic framework (MOF) is a porous material that is made of metal clusters coordinated with organic linkers to generate a large Langmuir surface area and small-to-medium-sized pores. This mini-review provides an overview of current research and development efforts in water-stable MOFs that have the potential to be used as adsorbents of aqueous solutions. The use of MOFs to adsorb anions and cations and potential obstacles to their industrial use are discussed.
