Reducing gas contaminants by affordable and effective adsorbents is a major challenge in the 21st century. In the present study, thorium metal organic framework (Th‐MOF) nanostructures are introduced as highly efficient adsorbents. These compounds were manufactured via a novel route resulting from the development of microwave assisted reverse micelle (MARM) and ultrasound assisted reverse micelle (UARM) methods. The products were characterized utilizing XRD, SEM, TGA/DSC, BET, and FT‐IR analyses. Based on the results, the samples synthesized by MARM had uniform size distribution, high thermal stability, and significant surface area. Calculations using DFT/B3LYP indicated that the compounds have a tendency to the polymeric form, which could theoretically confirm the formation of Th‐MOF. Results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that synthesis parameters played a critical role in the manufacturing of products with distinctive properties. Response surface methodology (RSM) predicted the possibility of creating Th‐MOF adsorbents with the surface area of 2579 m2/g, which was a considerable value in comparison with the properties of other adsorbents. Adsorption studies showed that, in the optimum conditions, the Th‐MOF products had high adsorption capacity for CO and CH4. It is believed that the synthesis protocol developed in the present study and the systematic studies conducted on the samples which lead to products with ideal adsorption properties.

“…In order to move these novel materials from the laboratory to commercial applications, scalability and processability of MOFs are necessary areas of research. On the scalability front, MOF syntheses have been demonstrated in large-scale production by current companies (BASF, MOF-WORX, MOF Technologies, and NuMat) [28][29][30] . These companies take advantage of flow chemistry, electrochemistry, and mechanochemistry methods.…”

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials with unprecedented chemical and structural tunability. Their synthetic versatility, long-range order, and rich host-guest chemistry make MOFs ideal platforms for identifying design features for advanced functional materials. This review addresses synthetic approaches to control MOF attributes for realizing material properties such as charge conductivity, stability, surface area, and flexibility. Along with an updated account on MOFs employed in batteries and supercapacitors, new directions are outlined for advancing MOF research in emergent technologies such as solid-state electrolytes and battery operation in extreme environments. G lobal demands for clean energy storage and delivery continue to push developing technology to its limits. Batteries and supercapacitors are among the most promising technologies for electrical energy storage owing to their portability and compact size for on-demand usage. Despite their promise, chemical and physical limitations of existing materials hinder performance and require new, creative solutions. For instance, polymers and conductive carbon materials are relatively inexpensive, scalable, and synthetically tunable but can lack physical and chemical stability for device implementation. On the other hand, solid inorganic materials, such as metal oxides and silicon, are used as electrode materials due to their robust structure and redox-active sites. However, sluggish ion diffusion of metal oxides limit charge/ discharge rate capabilities and large volumetric changes lead to mechanical instability. Drawbacks in these current platforms motivate the discovery and development of new materials for advanced energy storage devices. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are attractive candidates to meet the needs of nextgeneration energy storage technologies. MOFs are a class of porous materials composed of metal nodes and organic linkers. Their modular nature allows for great synthetic tunability, affording both fine chemical and structural control. With creative synthetic design, properties such as porosity, stability, particle morphology, and conductivity can be tailored for specific applications. As the needs of each energy storage device are different, this synthetic versatility of MOFs provides a method to optimize materials properties to combat inherent electrochemical

“…Electrochemical method to synthesize MOFs is based on the dissolution of a anodic metal that supply metal ions into a reaction medium that contains the organic linkers and electrolytes, avoiding the use of metal salts. This reaction between metal ions and organic linkers produces structures with high purity, due to the absence of nitrate, perchlorate or chloride presents in metal salts, in a short time when compared to other synthetic methods [83][84][85]. The electrochemical approach was applied by [86] to produce Cu 3 (BTC) 2 (HKUST-1) for CO 2 and CH 4 adsorption and separation.…”

Photocatalysis and high adsorption coupling in a same nanoparticle have been emerged as a prominent class of cost-effective materials to degrade recalcitrant contaminants in wastewater. α-Hematite, metal-organic frameworks and TiO 2 nanocomposites have been investigated due to their features that overcome the other conventional photocatalysts and adsorbents to remove contaminants in aqueous medium. Several methods are applied to synthesize these nanostructures with different properties and physicochemical features and a brief review is shown to these well-established techniques to provide an understanding for the construction and application of these advanced materials.
