A new copper adenine MOF (Bio-MOF) was synthesized by hydrothermal procedure and explored for its low temperature $CO_2$ adsorption. In this adenine a DNA nucleotide was used as a ligand for Cu in DMF solution at $130^{\circ}C$. The synthesized Bio MOF was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, TG and BE Tresults. The material possesses high surface area (716.08 $m^2g^{-1}$) with mono dispersed particles of about 2.126 nm. The maximum $CO_2$ adsorption capacity is 5wt% at $50^{\circ}C$, which is regenerable at $100^{\circ}C$ which is very low when compared to other metal organic frame work studied. This study proves that the synthesized material is also be a choice materials for low temperature $CO_2$adsorption.

Recently, the control of pore-characteristics of nano-porous materials has been studied extensively because of their unique applications, which includes size-selective separation, gas adsorption/storage, heterogeneous catalysis, etc. The most widely adopted techniques for controlling pore characteristics include the utilization of pillar effect by metal oxide and of templates such as zeolites. More recently, coordination polymers constructed by transition metal ions and bridging organic ligands have afforded new types of nano-porous materials, porous metal-organic framework(porous MOF), with high degree and uniformity of porosity. The pore characteristics of these porous MOFs can be designed by controlling the coordination number and geometry of selected metal, e.g transition metal and rare-earth metal, and the size, rigidity, and coordination site of ligand. The synthesis of porous MOF by the assembly of metal ions with di-, tri-, and poly-topic N-bound organic linkers such as 4,4'-bipyridine(BPY) or multidentate linkers such as carboxylates, which allow for the formation of more rigid frameworks due to their ability to aggregate metal ions into M-O-C cluster, have been reported. Other porous MOF from co-ligand system or the ligand with both C-O and C-N type linkage can afford to control the shape and size of pores. Furthermore, for the rigidity and thermal stability of porous MOF, ring-type ligand such as porphyrin derivatives and ligands with ability of secondary bonding such as hydrogen and ionic bonding have been studied.

The magnetocaloric effect (MCE), which is the reversible temperature change of magnetic materials due to an applied magnetic field, occurs largely in the vicinity of the magnetic phase transition temperature. This phenomenon can be used to induce magnetic refrigeration, a viable, energy-efficient solid-state cooling technology. Recently, Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), due to their structural diversity of tunable crystalline pore structure and chemical functionality, have been studied as good candidates for magnetic refrigeration materials in the cryogenic region. In cryogenic cooling applications, MCE using MOF can have great potential, and is even considered comparable to conventional lanthanum alloys and magnetic nanoparticles. Owing to the presence of large internal pores, however, MOF also exhibits the drawback of low magnetic density. To overcome this problem, therefore, recent reports in literature that achieve high magnetic entropy change using a dense structure formation and ligand tuning are introduced.

The text highlights the growing need for eco-friendly energy storage and the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to address this demand. Despite their promise, challenges in MOF-based energy storage include stability, reproducible synthesis, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. Recent progress in supercapacitor materials, particularly over the last decade, has aimed to overcome these challenges. The review focuses on the morphological characteristics and synthesis methods of MOFs used in supercapacitors to achieve improved electrochemical performance. Various types of MOFs, including monometallic, binary, and tri-metallic compositions, as well as derivatives like hybrid nanostructures, sulfides, phosphides, and carbon composites, are explored for their energy storage potential. The review emphasizes the quest for superior electrochemical performance and stability with MOF-based materials. By analyzing recent research, the review underscores the potential of MOF-based supercapacitors to meet the increasing demands for high power and energy density solutions in the field of energy storage.

In order to find out rational design and synthetic strategies toward efficient hydrogen storage materials, we performed quantum mechanical calculations on a series of the Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) containing functionalized organic linkers. Based on the shape of frontier orbitals and the electrostatic potential map of various MOFs from density functional theory calculations, it was found that the delocalization of electron and asymmetric polarization of the organic linker play an important role in the hydrogen storage capacity of Metal-Organic Frameworks. The prediction of the modeling study could be supported by the hydrogen adsorption experiments using MOF-5 and amine substituted MOF-5, which showed more enhanced hydrogen storage capacity of amine substituted MOF-5 compared with that of MOF-5.

Gas separation technology becomes more useful because key gases such as H₂ and CO₂ regarding renewable energy resources and environmental pollutant can be effectively extracted in mixed gases. For reducing energy consumption on gas separation, membrane and adsorption processes are widely used. In both processes, porous materials are needed as membrane and adsorbent. In particular, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), one class of the porous materials, have been developed for the purpose of gas adsorption and separation. While the number of the MOF structures is increasing due to chemical and structural tunability, good MOF membranes and adsorbents have been rarely reported by trial-and-error experiments. To accelerate the discovery of high-performing porous materials that can separate H₂ and CO₂, a high-throughput computational screening technique was used as efficient skill. This review introduces crucial studies of porous materials and the high-throughput computational screening works focusing on gas separation of H₂ and CO₂.

A new two-fold interpenetrating two-dimensional (2D) Tb(III) metal-organic framework (MOF), [Tb(p-XBP4)_2.5(H₂O)₂]·W(CN)₈ (1), was prepared using a p-XBP4 (N,N'-p-phenylenedimethylenbis(pyridin-4-one)), Cs₃[W(CN)₈], and Tb(NO₃)₃·6H₂O. The single crystal X-ray diffraction indicated that Tb-MOF exhibits a unique two-fold interpenetrating 2-D framework. It was also characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and single and powder X-ray diffraction. To probe the molecular magnetic behavior, the magnetic properties of Tb-MOF were investigated by direct-current (DC) and alternating-current (AC) magnetic susceptibilities measurements and discussed.

As a promising method to address global water scarcity, sorbent-assisted water harvesting from air has shown great potential to deliver drinking water for inlands lacking traditional water sources. In this article, the recent studies of using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as sorbents to harvest atmospheric water will be introduced. Compared to the other sorbent materials such as zeolites or silica-based materials, MOFs have shown prospective properties such as the water isotherm inflection points as low as ~10%, which are suitable for harvesting water at dry regions. Due to this property, recently, MOFs have been extensively adopted to develop practical water harvesting devices that can harvest water. Since atmospheric water is accessible anywhere and anytime in the world, this technology is expected to open a new avenue in terms of securing safe water for the future.

Hydrogen gas has attracted considerable attention as a promising candidate for future energy resources because of its eco-friendly characteristics; however, its highly combustible characteristics should be thoroughly examined to preclude potential disasters. In this regard, a highly sensitive method for the selective detection of H₂ is extremely important. To achieve excellent H₂ selectivity, the utilization of a metal-organic framework (MOF) membrane can physically screen interfering gas molecules by restricting the size of kinetic diameters that can penetrate its nanopores. This paper summarizes the various endeavors of researchers to utilize the MOF molecular sieving layer for the development of highly selective H₂ sensors. Further, the review affords useful insights into the development of highly reliable H₂ sensors.

This study investigate growth responses of Chinese cabbage and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) to application of fermented organic fertilizer produced from domestic organic resources for developing alternative materials instead of imported castor oil meal. Two types of fermented fertilizers (Fermented Organic Fertilizer A (OFA) and Fermented Organic Fertilizer B (OFB)) were produced by mixing distillers dried grains 30%, sesame cake 30%, rice bran 20% and fish meal 20% under different fermentation conditions. Treatment consisted of OFA is fermented for 21 days on plastic greenhouse, OFB is fermented for 5 days on 40℃, and MOF (Mixed Organic Fertilizer) is a fertilizer made with castor bean as the main ingredient. OFA, OFB and MOF were applied at the rate of 320 kg N/ha. Chinese cabbages were cultivated from Aug. to Nov. in 2022. Growth and yield of Chinese cabbage were no significant differences among all treatments except control (non-fertilized, NF). However, NUE of Chinese cabbage was higher the fermented fertilizer treatment (OFB: 81.4%, OFA: 79.1%) than the MOF (65.3%). It was observed that urease activity in the fermented fertilizer treatment was significantly higher than the MOF. This result confirmed that fermented fertilizers have similar effect on growth and yield with the MOF and could improve the NUE of crop.
