Advances with Metal Organic Framework based nanomaterials in 4th industrial revolution

Abstract

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are expected to become a major player in different industrial sector as a result of biological performance, photocatalysis, adsorption and absorption behavior, capacitance, improved anodic performance in energy storage. In biomedical industries, MOFs utilize antimicrobial characteristics and biosensing, bioimaging, therapeutic, drug delivery capabilities. MOF can be used as a food safety and food packaging agent since they prevent microbes. By photocatalysis MOF can contribute to wastewater treatment. MOFs adsorption and absorption characteristics can remediate groundwater. Improved capacitance and anodic behavior of MOF will contribute to energy storage device improvement. MOFs are also capable of separating gases from mixtures. Thus, MOF will play vital role in biomedical, food, water-treatment industry, oil-gas industry, and energy storage industry. Energy, environment, biomedical applications make MOF important in 4th industrial revolution. This study will focus on special properties along with different industrial application and show the effectiveness of MOF in 4th industrial application.
