Published: December 2024

Owing to increasing global demand for the development of multifunctional advanced materials with various practical applications, great attention has been paid to metal-organic frameworks due to their unique properties, such as structural, chemical, and functional diversity. Several strategies have been developed to promote the applicability of these materials in practical fields. The induction of mixed-valency is a promising strategy, contributing to exceptional features in these porous materials such as enhanced charge delocalization, conductivity, magnetism, The current review provides a detailed study of mixed-valence MOFs, including their fundamental properties, synthesis challenges, and characterization methods. The outstanding applicability of these materials in diverse fields such as energy storage, catalysis, sensing, gas sorption, separation, is also discussed, providing a roadmap for future design strategies to exploit mixed valency in advanced materials. Interestingly, mixed-valence MOFs have demonstrated fascinating features in practical fields compared to their homo-valence MOFs, resulting from an enhanced synergy between mixed-valence states within the framework.
