The emerging applications of nanoscale hierarchically porous metal–organic frameworks

Nanoscale hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks (NHP-MOFs), fusing the advantages of nanoscale MOFs (N-MOFs) and hierarchically porous MOFs (HP-MOFs), can synergistically reduce mass transfer resistance and accelerate the diffusion rate towards active sites within internal crystals. This review summarizes the latest research activities focusing on NHP-MOFs in the areas of gas storage, adsorption/separation, catalysis, electrochemistry, and biochemical medicine. Then, challenges and emerging perspectives associated with the commercial applications of NHP-MOFs are discussed. This review offers comprehensive insights regarding the development and potential industrial applications of NHP-MOFs.
