Background: The removal of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from the contaminated water by employing photocatalytic adsorption is considered as one of the most emerging technologies due to its’ cost- and energy-effectiveness. It has attracted significant attention of global researchers to process the world’s wastewater.

Methods: Among different adsorbents, the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated remarkable potential and a bright future perspective in the photocatalytic-based adsorptive removal of POPs from wastewater. This review deals with the introduction of MOFs and contaminations in wastewater, followed by the synthesis method for MOFs and their properties. The review is extended to the review of mechanisms for the photocatalytic adsorption along with the recent progress in removal of persistent toxic substances, pesticides, herbicides, phenols, and antibiotics. Furthermore, the future challenges in this promising area are also discussed.
