Metal-Organic Frameworks to Removal and Sensing of Toxic Pollutants

Dear Colleagues,

The environmental issue is a problematic matter of challenging contention. In addition to detecting, absorption, adsorption, and degradation of toxic materials in the environment, pollution of air, water, and soil from dangerous materials, such as dyes used in the paper, plastic and textile industries, petrochemicals, by-products of drug synthesis, must be avoided.

To detect and degrade environmental pollution, advanced methods are required. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, metal-organic frame (MOF) perform different functions. The function of chemical composition, active surface sites and physio-chemical properties of materials, recent developments, and environmental science's future course  receive special attention. MOFs implanted with functionalized nanomaterials possess excellent features for sensing, absorption, adsorption and degrading toxic pollutants.

Advanced, creative materials have an evident and beneficial influence on economic development, the environment, and life quality. Advanced materials have been used for processes and goods to develop and build many pathways to enhance sustainability.

This Special Issue focused on  the metal organic frame for removing and sensing toxic pollutants in the environment highlights the novel synthesis procedure, methodologies, and various techniques for sensing and removing toxic pollutants.

The scope of the topics to be covered include but are not limited to, the following:

1. Techniques to the synthesis of Metal-organic frame
2. MOF for detection of toxic pollutants
3. Degradation of hazardous materials
4. MOF in wastewater treatment
5. Mechanism study of detection and degradation pathway
6. MOF for photo (electro) catalytic applications
7. MOF and its composites for removal and sensing applications

We would like to invite you to consider submitting  your full research paper, brief communications, and review articles on this issue.
