 Metal organic frameworks, MOFs, have been fabricated into nanofibers using electro spinning, which has enabled them to be used in various applications such as air filtration, water treatment, gas storage and separation, electrochemical energy conversion and storage, and heterogeneous catalysis. These MOF nanofibers offer unique properties and performance compared to other materials, making them attractive candidates for many applications. However, there are still some challenges associated with the fabrication of MOF nanofibers, limitations for their use, and trends for future development.
