“…3D printing or additive manufacturing is a flexible, versatile, and highly customizable technique for fabricating various objects with complex geometries by the layer-by-layer deposition of materials . Furthermore, 3D printing enables the rapid prototyping and manufacturing of lightweight and strong parts to overcome the limitations of traditional shaping techniques. − Various printing processes such as stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, and direct ink writing (DIW) have been developed to span different printing speeds, resolutions, and printable materials. , In particular, DIW has attracted tremendous attention due to the cost-effective fabrication of soft electronics and the use of a wide range of printable materials. , Because of such fantastic features, 3D printing has been considered as an attractive technique for shaping MOFs, as most MOFs in the powder form are less desirable for industrial-scale applications. , Several studies have demonstrated the 3D printing of pure MOFs or composite materials containing various MOFs, which are mostly constructed from copper-based or zinc-based nodes, for a range of applications. ,− Photocurable MOF–polymer composite inks also have been reported for shaping a range of MOFs and their subsequent use in chemical sensors . However, thus far, only two very recent examples have investigated the 3D printing of water-stable group-(IV)-metal-based MOFs. , Furukawa, Dhainaut, and co-workers have reported the 3D printing of a Zr-MOF, UiO-66-NH 2 , for gas storage and separation, and Boyer, Liang, and co-workers have utilized a porphyrinic Zr-MOF, MOF-525 (Zn), as a photocatalyst for polymerization during printing .…”
