Abstract During the last century, the concentration of the atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO 2 ) has increased obviously, due to the industrial development of the
humanity and the increment dependence on the use of fossil fuels. Consequently,
the concern of scientists with the topics of capturing, storage, and utilization of
carbon dioxide has increased during the last decades.
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are new materials, having high surface areas,
high porosity, and different types of the active sites. Based on these features, MOFs
are considered as very attractive materials to be investigated in many applications,
including separation, sensing of pollutants, hydrogen storage, drug delivery, adsorption, and catalysis. In this chapter, the recent publications concerned with the appliT. Zaki (*)
