Bimetallic metal organic frameworks (BMOFs) are a class of crystalline solids and their structure comprises two metal ions in the lattice. BMOFs show a synergistic effect of two metal centres and enhanced properties compared to MOFs. By controlling the composition and relative distribution of two metal ions in the lattice the structure, morphology, and topology of BMOFs could be regulated resulting in an improvement in the tunability of pore structure, activity, and selectivity. Thus, developing BMOFs and BMOF incorporated membranes for applications such as adsorption, separation, catalysis, and sensing is a promising strategy to mitigate environmental pollution and address the looming energy crisis. Herein we present an overview of recent advancements in the area of BMOFs and a comprehensive review of BMOF incorporated membranes reported to date. The scope, challenges as well as future perspectives for BMOFs and BMOF incorporated membranes are presented.
双金属金属有机框架材料(BMOFs)是一类晶体固体,其结构在晶格中包含两种金属离子。与金属有机框架材料(MOFs)相比,BMOFs表现出两种金属中心的协同效应和增强的性能。通过控制晶格中两种金属离子的组成和相对分布,可以调节BMOFs的结构、形态和拓扑结构,从而改善其孔结构、活性和选择性的可调性。因此,开发用于吸附、分离、催化和传感等应用的BMOFs及BMOF复合膜是缓解环境污染和应对迫在眉睫的能源危机的一种有前景的策略。在此,我们概述了BMOFs领域的最新进展,并对迄今为止报道的BMOF复合膜进行了全面综述。还介绍了BMOFs和BMOF复合膜的研究范围、挑战以及未来展望。
