What are the Challenges in Using Conductive MOFs for Catalysis?
Despite their potential, conductive MOFs face several challenges. Stability under reaction conditions is a major concern, as some MOFs can degrade in the presence of moisture or high temperatures. The scalability of synthesis processes is another issue, as producing large quantities of uniform MOFs can be difficult. Additionally, achieving a balance between porosity and conductivity is challenging, as the introduction of conductive elements can sometimes reduce the available surface area for catalysis.
