Abstract

Abstract : A comprehensive review is given on the applications of water stable metal–organic frameworks in areas of adsorption, membrane separation, sensing, catalysis, and proton conduction. Abstract : The recent advancement of water stable metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) expands the application of this unique porous material. This review article aims at studying their applications in terms of five major areas: adsorption, membrane separation, sensing, catalysis, and proton conduction. These applications are either conducted in a water-containing environment or directly targeted on water treatment processes. The representative and significant studies in each area were comprehensively reviewed and discussed for perspectives, to serve as a reference for researchers working in related areas. At the end, a summary and future outlook on the applications of water stable MOFs are suggested as concluding remarks.
