Due to the structural flexibility, large surface area, tailorable pore size and functional tenability, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can lead to materials with unique properties. This book covers the fundamental aspects of MOFs, their synthesis and modification, including their potential applications in different domains. The major focus is on applications including chemical, biosensors, catalysis, drug delivery, supercapacitors, energy storage, magnetics and their future perspectives. Due to the structural flexibility, large surface area, tailorable pore size and functional tenability, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a fascinating class of materials and are continuing to inspire both scientists and engineers. MOFs are the combination of organic and inorganic structure elements that can lead to materials with unique properties, and the choice of initial building units makes it possible to vary some parameters, such as the pore size, density as well as the specific surface area, which opens up new ways to produce materials with tailored physicochemical properties. This ability to fine-tune MOF properties is evident in various areas, both academic and industrial, with potential practical applications including gas storage and separation, heterogeneous catalysis, chemical sensing, biomedical applications, fabrication of membranes or thin films and many more. Hence, these materials play a key role in life every day and their effect on the future of humanity’s technology. Therefore, exciting developments, new advancements and foundations, direction for further exploring MOFs for their applications and critical analysis of the research are necessary to provide the field’s current status.
