ABSTRACT

One of the distinctive attributes of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is their configuration of a diverse surface and their fine complex composition of elements and combinations. Designing the objective structure with distinguishing unique characteristics and activities indicates the indefinite desire of the material designer. Knowing and comprehending the fundamental geometric laws of existence are the initial stage to reverse engineer the exciting intellectual structure from nature and biomimetic. By following this route, MOFs are designed by various researchers for distinct applications irrespective of the field where carbon nanotube (CNT)-based MOF nanocomposites are one and the same. Even though MOFs have many favorable characteristics such as organized crystalline structural arrangements, adjustable pore dimensions, and thermal stability due to their lower electrocatalytic power, bad electronic conductivity mitigates their applications. Therefore, MOFs are frequently synthesized to conductance-capable components especially with CNTs. In order to achieve success in practical applications, it is necessary to design the process and preparation as purpose-oriented unique specifications. One of the modes to carry out this task is fabricating the nanocomposites, in which the MOF is aided on the body such as substratum by interactivity with functional constituents at the interfacing region. This chapter covers the remarkable properties such as fine-adjustable pore dimensions, flexibly adaptable internal surfaces, and larger surface areas. This literature deals with the context of discussing the various applications of CNT-based MOFs such as chemical, electrochemical, biological, environmental, and energy along with the processing methodologies applied, design of materials, properties yielded, characteristic features, and engineering utilization.
