Two-dimensional metal-organic framework nanosheet composites: Preparations and applications

As emerging two-dimensional materials, metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet composites possess many unique physical and chemical properties, thus being expected to be widely applied in gas separation and adsorption, energy conversion and storage, heterogeneous catalysis, sensing as well as biomedicine. In this review, we first introduce the methods for integrating MOF nanosheets with other materials to prepare multifunctional composites. Next, the applications of MOF nanosheet composites in versatile fields are summarized and discussed. We hope this review will be instructive for researchers in the aspects of designs, preparations and applications of MOF nanosheet composites.
