Compared to traditional catalysts, MOFs offer several advantages:
Design Flexibility: The modular nature of MOFs allows for precise tuning of catalytic properties, which is often more challenging with traditional catalysts. Enhanced Selectivity: The well-defined pore structure and active sites in MOFs can lead to higher selectivity in catalytic reactions. Reusability: Many MOFs can be easily regenerated and reused, which is advantageous for industrial applications.
However, some challenges remain, such as the scalability of MOF synthesis and the potential for framework degradation under harsh reaction conditions.
