Despite their promising applications, there are several challenges in MOF research:
Stability: MOFs can be sensitive to moisture and heat, which can limit their practical applications. Scalability: Producing MOFs on an industrial scale while maintaining their properties is a significant challenge. Cost: The synthesis of MOFs can be expensive due to the cost of raw materials and the need for precise control over synthesis conditions. Complexity: Understanding the complex interactions between metal ions and organic ligands requires advanced analytical techniques.
