Abstract
Throughout the past few decades, scientific agencies have paid a lot of attention to environmental issues such as acid rain, water poisoning, and global warming. In order to solve these environmental problems, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are made up of metal ions and/or clusters attached to organic ligands, have shown some promise. With a focus on the usage of MOFs, this paper examines the most recent developments, difficulties, and potential future directions in the separation and storage of carbon compounds in buildings for a sustainable environment. The importance of using MOFs in decarbonizing water systems and lowering environmental concerns in buildings is highlighted in the research. It addresses the most recent developments in the use of MOFs for renewable energy, such as the elimination of dangerous gases like CO2 and CH4 from water systems. The article also looks at how MOFs might be used to decarbonize water systems in structures, with a focus on how carbon-containing compounds are stored chemically and physically using artificial neural network models. MOFs are a potential solution for renewable energy and environmental remediation in buildings because they have special physical and chemical characteristics like adjustable pores, high porosity, and tiny pore size. The report offers insights into existing treatments and invites academics to investigate MOFs' potential for resolving environmental problems in order to create a sustainable environment in buildings.
