The synergistic effect of MOF and biomass achieving dual breakthroughs in material structure and performance

Abstract

In order to cope with the environmental crisis and the depletion of non-renewable resources, the combination of metal–organic framework (MOF) and biomass materials has become an important breakthrough in sustainable materials science. With its unique pore structure and adjustable performance, MOF significantly improves the thermal stability and mechanical strength of biomass materials, and broadens its application in energy, material manufacturing and other fields. MOF–biomass composites show excellent properties in carbon capture, water treatment and biomedicine, which is of great significance to environmental protection and green chemical industry. This paper summarizes the latest research progress of MOF–biomass composites, including their application in wastewater treatment, air purification, food packaging and other fields, and discusses the green synthesis method, biological interface integration strategy and its potential in biocatalysis, sensing and medical fields. The development and application of MOF–biomass composites provide a new way to solve environmental problems and promote sustainable development. Furthermore, we critically analyze the key challenges and future directions. Our sincere hope is that this review will stimulate greater research interest in applications of biomass/MOF composites, and offer valuable insights for their design and utilization strategies.
