| Abstract | Growing concern exists over removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air due to their carcinogenic/hazardous nature. Considering diverse emission sources and concentrations, VOCs removal via adsorption is feasible using porous adsorbents like activated carbon, zeolites, and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs surpass others due to their large surface area, pore volume, superior thermal and chemical stability, abundant functional groups, and tunable structure. This review aimed to summarize the state-of-the-art developments made to increase the efficient VOCs removal from air by metal–organic frameworks, their derivatives (metal–organic gel, porous carbon), and composite materials. To begin, this review discusses the fundamental structural properties and surface functionalities of MOFs and MOF-based materials, which serve as primary features in VOCs capture. Secondly, this review emphasizes extensive fabrication strategies (linker functionalization, hierarchical porosity, hydrophobicity, open metal sites, etc.) that have been opted successfully to increase VOCs adsorption in MOF-based materials. Finally, we discuss the current challenges faced by MOF-based materials including experimental gaps and constraints, as well as future perspectives in the field of VOCs adsorption. This review represents the best effort to invite and engage more researchers to advance air pollution control research. |
