Synthetic nano/micro/millimeter-sized machines that harvest energy from the surrounding environment and then convert it to motion have had a significant impact on many research areas such as biology (sensing, imaging, and therapy) and environmental applications. Autonomous motion is a key element of these devices. A high surface area is preferable as it leads to increased propellant or cargo-loading capability. Integrating highly ordered and porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with self-propelled machines is demonstrated to have a significant impact on the field of nano/micro/millimeter-sized devices for a wide range of applications. MOFs have shown great potential in many research fields due to their tailorable pore size. These fields include energy storage and conversion; catalysis, biomedical application (e.g., drug delivery, imaging, and cancer therapy), and environmental remediation. The marriage of motors and MOFs may provide opportunities for many new applications for synthetic nano/micro/millimeter-sized machines. Herein, MOF-based micro- and nanomachines are reviewed with a focus on the specific properties of MOFs.
从周围环境中获取能量并将其转化为运动的合成纳米/微米/毫米级机器在许多研究领域（如生物学（传感、成像和治疗）和环境应用）产生了重大影响。自主运动是这些设备的关键要素。高表面积是优选的，因为它可以提高推进剂或货物装载能力。将高度有序和多孔的金属有机骨架（MOFs）与自推进机器集成被证明对广泛应用的纳米/微米/毫米级设备领域具有重大影响。MOFs 由于其可调节的孔径，在许多研究领域都显示出了巨大的潜力。这些领域包括能源存储和转化；催化，生物医学应用（例如，药物输送、成像和癌症治疗）和环境修复。马达和 MOFs 的结合可能为合成纳米/微米/毫米级机器的许多新应用提供机会。本文综述了基于 MOF 的微纳机器，重点介绍了 MOF 的特定性质。
