Bimetallic Metal−Organic Frameworks (BMOFs) and Their Potential Applications
Ratnesh K. Pandey
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are known for their diverse applications in fields like energy, environment, and medicine due to their outstandingly useful characteristics such as high porosity, high surface area, and tenability. The bimetallic MOFs (BMOFs) formed by introducing two different metals in the MOF structure has enhanced performance as compared to MOFs. Due to higher porosity and defects, as compared to MOFs, BMOFs are utilized in a vast range of applications. The present chapter discusses the synthesis procedures of BMOFs and their derivatives along with key applications of these structures in different fields.
