What are the Advantages of Using MOFs in Catalysis?
One of the primary advantages of MOFs in catalysis is their modularity. By selecting different metal ions and organic linkers, the properties of MOFs can be finely tuned to optimize catalytic performance. Their high surface area and porosity ensure a large number of active sites are accessible, which can lead to higher catalytic efficiencies. Moreover, the ability to incorporate multiple functionalities within a single MOF structure can lead to synergistic effects that enhance catalytic activity.
