MOFs for desulfurization of fuel oil: Recent advances and future insights

“…[115] 3 | IDENTIFICATION AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MOFS MOFs are crystalline, porous, one-, two or threedimensional hybrid materials with modular structure, also known as porous coordination network (PCN) or polymers (PCP). [116][117][118][119] They are comprised of organic linkers (N or O containing organic molecules) which can form coordination bonds with inorganic bricks (metal oxide ion, transition, alkaline earth metal ions or lanthanides). [116] MOFs are classified on basis of inorganic cluster and organic linker.…”

Photoswitchable Catalytic Aerobic Oxidation of Biomass-Based Furfural: A Selective Route for the Synthesis of 5-Hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone and Maleic Acid by Using the CdS/MOF Photocatalyst

“…In macroporous and mesoporous structures, the photocatalytic activity is significantly improved due to the more efficient trapping of light through successive reflections and its scattering effect in the cavities . Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new type of crystalline materials that exhibit unique properties, such as very high porosity, more than 90% void volume, and a very high specific surface area (more than 6000 m 2 /g). − In the past decade, the photocatalytic activity of these compounds has increased significantly. NH 2 -MIL-125 as a MOF containing Ti as a metal node and carboxylate as an organic linker has significant structural stability .…”

In situ synthesis of CdS@NH2-MIL-125 nanocomposite for the enhanced photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene

“…Especially in the visible light field, their high thermal and chemical stability also make MOFs very promising as heterogeneous photocatalysts. [15][16][17][18][19] The transfer of light from the organic linker to the metal cluster is facilitated by the high crystallinity in the MOFs and their adjustable porosity. Also, this leads to a better mass transfer of reactants and products in photocatalytic reactions.…”
