Petroleum is an essential source of energy for our daily life. However, crude oil contains various kinds of sulfur-containing compounds that will form sulfur oxides upon combustion and cause severe environmental problems. To reduce the environmental impact of petroleum energy, the desulfurization of fuels is necessary. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), an emerging class of porous materials, have shown great potential in a variety of applications. In this review, we summarize the use of MOFs in the desulfurization of fuels. The scope of this review includes MOFs and MOF-derived materials that have been applied in oxidative desulfurization and adsorptive desulfurization processes. We aim to provide an overview of the progress of MOFs in fuel desulfurization as well as shed light on the development of superior MOF-based materials in the field of desulfurization.

迈向燃料脱硫的金属有机框架。

石油是我们日常生活的重要能源。然而，原油包含各种含硫化合物，它们在燃烧时会形成硫氧化物，并引起严重的环境问题。为了减少石油能源对环境的影响，必须对燃料进行脱硫。金属有机框架（MOF）是一类新兴的多孔材料，已在各种应用中显示出巨大的潜力。在这篇综述中，我们总结了MOF在燃料脱硫中的使用。这篇综述的范围包括MOF和MOF衍生的材料，这些材料已用于氧化脱硫和吸附脱硫工艺。
