MIL-101(Fe) is a metal-organic framework (MOF) primarily composed of iron (Fe) ions coordinated with organic ligands, specifically 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (BDC). This structure provides high porosity and surface area, making it suitable for various applications, including pollutant remediation and energy storage.
The framework is based on iron ions (Fe3+) which are pivotal for its structural integrity and functionality (Chen et al., 2024). The BDC ligands form a robust coordination network with the iron ions, contributing to the stability and porosity of the MOF(Liu et al., 2024).
MIL-101(Fe) has been effectively utilized for the simultaneous removal of heavy metals like Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Cu²⁺ from contaminated water and soil, achieving low residual concentrations (Wang et al., 2025). It also serves as a photocatalyst for degrading crude oil in wastewater, demonstrating a remarkable 94.73% removal efficiency under optimized conditions(Wang et al., 2024). The framework has been modified to create efficient electrocatalysts for rechargeable Zn-air batteries, showcasing high performance in oxygen evolution and reduction reactions (Hao et al., 2024). Additionally, MIL-101(Fe) composites with iron nanoparticles have been developed for supercapacitor applications, achieving a capacitance of 1305 F g⁻¹(Mahajan et al., 2024).
While MIL-101(Fe) shows promise in these applications, challenges such as scalability and long-term stability in practical environments remain areas for further research.
