Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising platforms for heterogeneous catalysis due to their tunable structures and high specific surface areas. Results indicate that modified composite MOFs not only exhibit superior water stability but also demonstrate broader applicability in catalysis, such as Fenton-like oxidation, Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions, ethylene dimerization, and various photoelectrochemical processes. Among them, UiO-67, a zirconium-based MOF, has attracted extensive attention for its exceptional chemical stability, high catalytic activity, and well-defined microporous structure. This review introduces composites formed by different types of single and multi-metal loadings on UiO-67 and their demonstrated catalytic performance. It emphasizes the structure-performance relationships of these composites, highlighting how metal loading and spatial distribution influence their reactivity and stability. The current application status and existing challenges of UiO-67 series materials and their derivatives in catalysis are systematically reviewed. By integrating experimental results and mechanistic insights, this work underscores the transformative potential of UiO-67 series materials in meeting the demands of sustainable catalysis.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Chemistry is a high visiblity and quality journal, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the chemical sciences. Field Chief Editor Steve Suib at the University of Connecticut is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to academics, industry leaders and the public worldwide.
Chemistry is a branch of science that is linked to all other main fields of research. The omnipresence of Chemistry is apparent in our everyday lives from the electronic devices that we all use to communicate, to foods we eat, to our health and well-being, to the different forms of energy that we use. While there are many subtopics and specialties of Chemistry, the fundamental link in all these areas is how atoms, ions, and molecules come together and come apart in what some have come to call the “dance of life”.
All specialty sections of Frontiers in Chemistry are open-access with the goal of publishing outstanding research publications, review articles, commentaries, and ideas about various aspects of Chemistry. The past forms of publication often have specific subdisciplines, most commonly of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistries, but these days those lines and boxes are quite blurry and the silos of those disciplines appear to be eroding. Chemistry is important to both fundamental and applied areas of research and manufacturing, and indeed the outlines of academic versus industrial research are also often artificial. Collaborative research across all specialty areas of Chemistry is highly encouraged and supported as we move forward. These are exciting times and the field of Chemistry is an important and significant contributor to our collective knowledge.
