Towards Solving the PFAS Problem: The Potential Role of Metal‐Organic Frameworks

Abstract: Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of recalcitrant molecules that have been used since the 1940s in a variety of applications. They are now linked to a host of negative health outcomes and are extremely resistant to degradation under environmental conditions. Currently, membrane technologies or adsorbents are used to remediate contaminated water. These techniques are either inefficient at capturing smaller PFAS molecules, have high energy demands, or result in concentrated waste that must be incinerated at high temperatures. This Review focuses on what role metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) may play in addressing the PFAS problem. Specifically, how the unique properties of MOFs such as their well‐defined pore sizes, ultra‐high internal surface area, and tunable surface chemistry may be a sustainable solution for PFAS contamination.
