MOFs-carbon hybrid nanocomposites in environmental protection applications.

The demand for green engineering environmentally friendly nanomaterials had made carbon nanotube a suitable material to keep metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the application of wastewater treatment and air pollution monitoring systems. This review summarizes many of the recent research accomplishments in the synthesis of MOFs and MOFs-carbon hybrid nanocomposites for various applications such as wastewater treatment and removal of hazardous gases (CO, SO, HS and NH) with emphasis on MOF/CNTs composites. This review focuses on the efficient removal of pollutants from the environment using adsorption techniques. Another important application of MOFs composite discussed in this review is sensor materials for environmental pollution.
