Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed by inorganic secondary building units with organic linkers via reticular chemistry, inherently suffer from poor solution processability due to their insoluble nature, resulting from their extensive crystalline networks and structural rigidity. The ubiquitous occurrence of precipitation and agglomeration of MOFs upon formation poses a significant obstacle to the scale-up production of MOF-based monolith, aerogels, membranes, and electronic devices, thus restricting their practical applications in various scenarios. To address the previously mentioned challenge, significant strides have been achieved over the past decade in the development of various strategies aimed at preparing solution-processable MOF systems.

The development of materials with superior thermal insulation and flame retardancy is critical for industrial applications and daily life. Metal-organic framework (MOF)@poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) (MOF@PVA) aerogel composites have demonstrated remarkable thermal insulation and flame retardancy properties. In this work, MIL-53(Al) was directly mixed with PVA and formed by freeze-drying, and the influence of the pore structure on the thermal insulation and flame retardancy properties of the materials was investigated.

Dyes, as organic pollutants, are causing increasingly severe environmental problems. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered promising dye adsorbents; however, their application is limited due to their powder or solid particle forms and limited reusability. Therefore, this study proposes an innovative approach to develop a novel MOF-based composite aerogel, specifically a HKUST-1/polyacrylonitrile nanofibers/regenerated cellulose (HKUST-1/PANNs/RC) composite aerogel adsorbent, for the adsorption of pollutants in water.
