Turning CO2 into Treasure: The Promise of Metal-Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Since CO2 is considered the primary contributor to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and has been responsible for a number of global environmental and energy-related disasters. Because of its adverse impacts on the global ecosystem's deterioration, it has given rise to serious concerns. Thus, it is now crucial to develop efficient strategies for capturing CO2 and its conversion into desired products. It is anticipated that these materials will greatly improve ecosystem stability and encourage sustainable expansion in the energy industry. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are becoming more popular nowadays as a result of their appealing features including large internal surface area, structural homogeneity, and flexible porosity, etc. This review critically examines current advancements and in addition real-world applications of metal-organic materials for CO2 fixation and changing it into useful chemical products. In view of this, the contemporary trends and developments for CO2 conversion into cyclic carbonates, formic acid, olefins, methane, carbon monoxide, heterocycles, etc; are comprehensively deliberated using cycloaddition, hydrogenation and carboxylation processes.
