Abstract:

Size and shape controlled growth of nano or micron sized metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) has attracted great attention in recent years. The ability to deliberately access monodisperse nano or microsized MOFs offers prospective applications in heterogeneous catalysis, porous membranes, thin-film devices, controlled drug release, and biomedical fields. This review highlights the recent development of size and shape controlled growth as well as the application of nano or micron sized MOFs, finally the future prospective is briefly addressed.

Key words: metal-organic frameworks, nano or micron size, size and shape control
