For decades, thousands of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized and applied in numerous applications such as gas storage, gas separation, catalyst, drug delivery, etc., offering a large specific surface area, highly biocompatible, and highly active photocatalytic, MOFs have great potential for antibacterial application. However, there are limited reports on this application of MOFs. There are two possibilities in the antibacterial mechanism for MOFs: components releasing and photocatalyst. Here, we review recent reports on MOFs that are applied as photocatalysts in antibacterial. We focused on explaining the mechanism of the catalyst and pointing out the advantages of using MOFs as photocatalysts in antibacterial applications. We also emphasize the remaining challenges in this field and suggest strategies to keep developing the materials. The present review is expected to provide a significant contribution to the development of MOFs in the antibacterial field.

用于光催化抗菌应用的金属有机框架 （MOF） 基材料


几十年来，已经合成了数千种金属有机框架 （MOF），并应用于气体储存、气体分离、催化剂、药物递送等众多应用，具有较大的比表面积、高度生物相容性和高活性的光催化性，MOF 具有巨大的抗菌应用潜力。但是，关于 MOF 的这种应用的报告有限。MOF 的抗菌机制有两种可能性：成分释放和光催化剂。在这里，我们回顾了最近关于在抗菌剂中用作光催化剂的 MOF 的报道。我们重点解释了催化剂的机理，并指出了在抗菌应用中使用 MOF 作为光催化剂的优势。我们还强调了该领域仍然存在的挑战，并提出了继续开发材料的策略。本综述有望为抗菌领域 MOF 的发展做出重大贡献。
