“…Nowadays, the applications of MOFs can be found in several areas including gas separation (Car et al, 2006;Perez et al, 2009;Li et al, 2012;Syrtsova et al, 2012;Wang and Lai, 2013;Liu et al, 2019), energy storage (Lee et al, 2012;Bon, 2017;Wang et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2017), sensing (Zhu et al, 2013;Kumar et al, 2015;Hu et al, 2020;Li et al, 2020;Ma et al, 2020;Chakraborty et al, 2021), and many others (Hasan et al, 2012;Seo et al, 2016;Barpaga et al, 2019;Gwon et al, 2020). There has been an increasing amount of research focusing on the water purification process (Ragab et al, 2016;He et al, 2017;Kadhom and Deng, 2018;Kumar et al, 2018;Wang et al 2020). Several water pollutants (e.g., heavy metal ions (Fu and Wang, 2011;Al-Rashdi et al, 2013;Abdulla et al, 2019), organic pesticides (Tamara et al, 2005;Michael et al, 2006), toxic chemicals (Angela et al, 2003;Valérie et al, 2004), pharmaceutical and personal care products (Hasanet al, 2012;Azhar et al, 2016), endocrine disrupting chemicals, and per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (Liu et al, 2015;Chen et al, 2016)) can be eliminated successfully by MOFs or related materials.…”
