When enzyme meet MOFs: Emerging opportunities toward water treatment

The rapid development of the world economy and industrialization has brought about the increase of contam-inants in water, which makes the removal and detection of contaminants high priority. Enzyme-based water treatment technology is an efficient and economical method, but its industrial application faces great challenges. The encounter between enzyme and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offers a glimmer of hope for solving the above problems, benefiting from the fascinating advantages of MOFs. This review discusses the synthesis stra-tegies of enzyme-MOFs for water treatment and highlights the applications of enzyme-MOFs in water treatment, including removal of emerging contaminants and as an emerging sensing platform for contaminants. Further-more, the conclusions and future perspectives are discussed and delineated. The objective of this review is to provide a new perspective on the emerging enzyme-MOFs-based platform for innovative employment in water treatment and to accelerate the development of this field for early industrial application.
