Recent Progress in MOFs and MOF-Derived Materials for Gas Sensing Applications

Abstract

In the past few decades, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely employed for a variety of applications such as sensors, adsorption, and catalysis. MOFs have excellent gas sensing properties and a large specific surface area which makes them a suitable candidate for the determination of toxic and hazardous gases. Some reports have also shown that integration of MOFs with other materials such as graphene, metal oxides, or conducting polymers may further improve their sensing performance. MOF-derived materials have also demonstrated excellent gas sensing properties. In this review article, we have compiled the recent progress in MOFs, MOF-based composites, and MOF-derived materials for gas sensing applications. We believe that the present review article may benefit readers who are planning or working on the development of MOF-based gas sensors.
