Piezoelectric supplies, able to harvesting and remodeling mechanical power into chemical power, have just lately emerged as promising catalysts in environmental wastewater remediation and clear power manufacturing. Whereas this method holds potential to supplant different superior strategies, enhancing the inherent piezoelectric properties of typical inorganic supplies stays difficult. That is primarily attributable to their structural inflexibility and restricted floor space, limiting their catalytic effectivity. Compared with typical piezocatalysts, steel–natural frameworks (MOFs) provide distinct benefits when it comes to crystalline construction, piezoelectric responses, porosity, and floor space. Notably, their tunable constructions would possibly enhance their thermal and chemical stability at particular situation, achieved by means of the exact and rational design of their reticular framework based mostly on particular software necessities. This functionality allows MOFs to boost piezocatalytic efficiency. Over the previous few years, important strides have been made in growing MOF-based supplies for piezocatalysis, but there stays a notable absence of complete evaluate articles on this key matter. Herein this paper goals to fill that hole by presenting advantages and makes use of of MOFs in piezocatalysis. Commencing with the deserves of MOFs, we discover 5 important benefits. We additionally spotlight the present utilisation of MOFs in reported piezocatalytic domains. Lastly, we are going to tackle the longer term prospects and alternatives for optimised construction, clarified mechanisms, improved effectivity, and issues relating to materials prices. This well timed evaluate goals to insights into the development of extremely environment friendly MOF piezocatalysts, fostering potential purposes not restricted to hydrogen (H2) era and pollutant removing.
