Abstract:

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) materials have gained a lot of attention because of their good stability, excellent adsorption properties and designability. In the last decade, the research about MOFs materials has developed rapidly. As an important research tool, theoretical computation and simulation have played an irreplaceable role in the study of adsorption mechanism and high-throughput screening of MOFs materials and other work studies. This work summarizes the computation and simulation methods including quantum mechanical calculations, molecular mechanics simulation, mesoscopic simulation, finite element simulation and machine learning, summarizes the different levels of computation and simulation methods used to solve the main scientific problems in the research of MOFs materials, and highlights the progress of the application of these methods in several typical research areas, such as the adsorption separation and storage of gases, adsorption separation and extraction of organic compounds in solution, catalytic reaction and drug loading. Finally, the prospect and development of computation and simulation for the study of MOFs materials are proposed.
