Current challenges related to climate change, environmental degradation, and the increasing energy demand impose an urgent need for society to seek innovative solutions in environmental protection. In response to these issues, scientists have been developing areas related to novel functional nanomaterials for years. Among these materials, particular attention is drawn to metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a new type of porous coordination polymers built from metal centers and organic ligands. The exceptional properties of MOFs come from their porous structure exhibiting high surface area, low density, large pore volume, also recyclability and the ability to regulate pore size and activity by selecting appropriate building blocks. MOFs can be synthesized by various routes and the most popular methods are the following: solvo-(hydro)thermal, mechanochemical, electrochemical, sonochemical or microwave-assisted synthesis. The type of synthesis influences the MOFs properties such as crystal size, specific surface area or possibility of scalable. Furthermore, MOFs activity in sorption or catalysis can be enhanced by postsynthetic modification (PSM), which enables the introduction of new functional groups or particles on/into MOF. Thanks to these properties and tunability, MOFs are finding increasingly broad applications in various processes that can serve different functions such as catalysts, photocatalysts, or sorbents. Due to the possibility of control of pore structure, their adsorption properties, and the nature of active sites, lately, MOFs and MOF-based materials have been investigated in gas adsorption and separation, hydrogen storage, CO2 capture, chemical sensing, electrochemical water splitting, biomass conversion, polymerization and drug delivery. This article will provide general information about the structure and key properties of MOFs, as well as methods of their synthesis and possibilities for modification. However, the focus will primarily be on indicating the various applications of MOFs in environmental applications (Figure 1). The use of MOFs in processes for removing organic and inorganic pollutants from water, air purification, gas separation, pollutant detection, and fuel generation and storage will be discussed. Additionally, the potential uses of MOFs as catalysts in transesterification processes, CO2 fixation, depolymerization, or biomass conversion will be highlighted.
