Herein, ZIFs-based applications were reviewed to remove CO2 via adsorption, fixation, and chemical conversion (Figure ). This review address most of the current opportunities and challenges for the topic. We highlighted the innovative synthesis methodologies and discussed the challenges of the existing synthesis procedures. Adsorption of CO2 from pure gas and mixed gas was summarized using various forms of ZIFs materials, including powder, membrane, thin-film, foams, and three-dimensional (3D) objects. ZIFs-based materials exhibit high adsorption capacities and excellent selectivity compared to other porous materials. These features open the door for industrial applications and commercialization.
