Environmental contaminant analysis: Concerns inspiring the emergence of MOF composites

Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based composites have emerged to improve the applicability of MOFs in various fields by addressing their limitations like intrinsic fragility, powdered crystalline state, and unsatisfied stability and processability. Moreover, due to the positive synergy of components, these composites offer the potential for enhanced adsorption performance, thereby employing them as sorbents in different sample pretreatments has led to unparalleled results. So far, various materials have been integrated with diverse MOFs for extraction. This review discusses the most recent reports of MOF-based composites and their progress in applications as sorbents for extracting environmental pollutants.
