Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have captivated researchers for over 25 years, yet few have successfully transitioned to commercial markets. This Perspective elucidates the progress, challenges and opportunities in moving MOFs to market, focusing on applied research. The five applied research steps that enable technology development and demonstration are reviewed: synthesis, forming, processing (washing and activation), prototyping and compliance. Furthermore, the importance of a comprehensive techno-economic analysis incorporating a complete picture of costs and revenues is discussed. Readers can use the understanding of applied research presented herein to tackle their MOF commercialization challenges.
金属有机框架（MOF）已吸引研究人员长达25年之久，但成功过渡到商业市场的却寥寥无几。本观点阐述了将MOF推向市场过程中的进展、挑战和机遇，重点关注应用研究。回顾了实现技术开发和演示的五个应用研究步骤：合成、成型、后处理（洗涤和活化）、原型制作和合规。此外，还讨论了纳入完整成本和收入情况的全面技术经济分析的重要性。读者可以利用本文介绍的应用研究知识来应对其MOF商业化挑战。
