Abstract
This study investigates the synthesis, application, and prospective advancements of bio-inspired materials, with a particular emphasis on Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). These biomimetic MOFs, which emulate the catalytic mechanisms of natural enzymes, exhibit superior performance in diverse domains. The research demonstrates the exceptional catalytic efficacy, selectivity, and sustainability of bio-inspired MOFs, driven by their unique structural and functional properties. However, significant challenges persist, including high synthesis and development costs, scalability limitations, and the necessity for thorough biocompatibility and environmental impact assessments. Addressing these challenges demands interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative methodologies in the design and fabrication of bio-inspired materials. The study concludes that, despite the substantial opportunities presented by bio-inspired MOFs for technological innovation and sustainability, overcoming the existing technical and economic barriers is crucial for their broader implementation.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
