Abstract:

Metal oxide@MOF(metal-organic framework) composite materials have emerged as a new class of functional materials and attracted considerable interests in many fields due to the unique properties in combination of metal oxide with MOF, which has been an important research direction of MOF materials in recent years. In this review, we systematically summarize the research progress towards various synthetic methods for metal oxide@MOF composite materials, such as epitaxial growth method, gas phase infiltration method and template method. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed, respectively. Applications of metal oxide@MOFs composite materials in adsorption and separation, catalysis, sensing, biomedical and potential applications of metal oxide@MOFs composite materials in electrochemical research are also discussed. In order to expand its application in industry, the improvement of synthetic methods, the preparation of new functional metal oxides and the exploration of new structures are proposed as the main future research and development directions of metal oxide@MOFs composite materials.

Key words: metal-organic framework, metal oxide, fabrication, catalysis, composites
