Synthesis and Applications of Stable Iron-Based Metal–Organic Framework Materials

Iron-based metal–organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) have captured considerable attention owing to their intriguing structural architectures, excellent stability, durability, and function. Fe-MOFs are anticipated to become the most appropriate MOF materials promising practical applications. In the present review, the architectures of stable Fe-MOFs are discussed along with the latest research progress on their synthesis and multifunctional applications. Synthetic methods of Fe-MOFs including hydrothermal, diffusion methods, microwave, xerogel conversion, and modulation synthesis followed by postsynthesis modifications and their potential applications in catalysis, gas storage, and sensors are outlined. The present study aims to provide prospects to explore advances in assembly and extending Fe-MOFs for more and much better practical applications.
