Abstract

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for addressing modern agricultural challenges due to their exceptional porosity, high surface area, and chemical versatility. These crystalline frameworks enable the controlled release of agrochemicals, such as fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, improving resource efficiency and reducing environmental contamination. MOFs also exhibit multifunctionality, including water retention, pollutant remediation, and soil monitoring, offering solutions to issues like nutrient leaching, water scarcity, and pest resistance. ni Moreover, MOFs have been used as platform for biomolecules immobilization in the development of biosensors applied to agricultural area. Despite their transformative potential, challenges related to cost, scalability, and regulatory frameworks remain significant barriers to widespread adoption. This review explores the properties, applications, and limitations of MOFs in agriculture, emphasizing their role in advancing sustainable farming practices and highlighting perspectives for their integration into precision agriculture.

期刊介绍： Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal. Topics which are particularly of interest include: All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials Host/guest interactions Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
