Nanospace Engineering of Metal‐Organic Frameworks for Heterogeneous Catalysis

The structural advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can facilitate wide applications in the field catalysis, including oxidation, hydrogenation, acetalization, transesterification, catalytic cracking, and so on. efficiency catalysis is closely related to synergy between active center, auxiliary microenvironment. Researchers customize MOFs according needs reactions, many strategies were established for boosting performance. In this review, we aim summarize illustrate recent progress nanospace engineering MOFs. Generally, engineered mainly from following aspects: 1) Regulation pore size, micropores, mesopores, macropores. 2) Engineering encapsulated species, such as metal nanoparticles, quantum dots, polyoxometalates, enzymes, etc. 3) morphology zero dimension three-dimension. 4) Controllable integration with multi-strategies. 5) Construction multivariate via introducing multiple or mixed organic functional groups into existing framework. Besides, further low cost practical applications, challenges green sustainable catalysts are also discussed.
