Abstract Design and development of new materials and their hybrids are key to addressing current energy issues. Thanks to their tunable textural and physiochemical properties, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) show great potential toward gas sorption, catalysis, sensing, and electrochemical energy applications. Nevertheless, practical applications of MOFs have been hampered because of their limited electrical conductivity, micropore size, and poor stability. However, smart integration of zero-dimensional quantum dots (QDs) into an MOF template, where the host structure offers suitable interactions for enhancing the stability and synergic properties, may be a solution. The objective of this review is to summarize recent advances in the field of QD@MOFs, highlighting fresh approaches to synthesis strategies and progress made in their application to optoelectronic devices, sensing, biomedical, catalysis, and energy storage. The current challenges and future directions of QDs@MOFs hybrids toward advancing energy and environmental applications are also addressed. We anticipate that this review will inspire researchers to develop novel MOF hybrids for energy, optoelectronics, and biomedical applications.

集成量子点 (QDs@MOF) 的金属有机框架的最新进展及其潜在应用

摘要 新材料及其混合物的设计和开发是解决当前能源问题的关键。由于其可调节的结构和物理化学特性，金属有机框架（MOF）在气体吸附、催化、传感和电化学能源应用方面显示出巨大的潜力。然而，由于MOFs有限的导电性、微孔尺寸和稳定性差，阻碍了其实际应用。然而，将零维量子点 (QD) 智能集成到 MOF 模板中，其中主体结构提供合适的相互作用以增强稳定性和协同特性，可能是一种解决方案。本综述的目的是总结 QD@MOFs 领域的最新进展，重点介绍合成策略的新方法及其在光电器件、传感、生物医学、催化和能量存储中的应用取得的进展。还讨论了 QDs@MOFs 混合物在推进能源和环境应用方面的当前挑战和未来方向。我们预计这篇综述将激发研究人员开发用于能源、光电子和生物医学应用的新型 MOF 混合材料。
