Green synthesis of reticular materials
Review highlights several aspects of reticular materials.
Abstract
To help ensure a prosperous future on Earth for coming generations, academia and industry need to transform the way they plan and carry out the synthesis of novel materials to make them more environmentally sustainable. In particular, the field of reticular materials (metal-organic frameworks, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks) has great potential to outperform other materials and revolutionize various fields of applications. This review highlights several key aspects from the choice of their starting materials, solvents and synthetic methodologies that fall under the umbrella of the Green Chemistry principles, and incorporates a Circular Economy perspective by providing relevant strategies such as reuse, regeneration, or recycling to maximize the value of the Earth’s available resources.
This article is part of the Transforming Energy Access programme.
