Abstract
Pristine iron triad metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), i.e., Fe-MOFs, Co-MOFs, Ni-MOFs, and heterometallic iron triad MOFs, are utilized as versatile and promising cathodes for alkali metal-ion batteries, owing to their distinctive structure characteristics, including modifiable and designable composition, multi-electron redox-active sites, exceptional porosity, and stable construction facilitating rapid ion diffusion. Notably, pristine iron triad MOFs cathodes have recently achieved significant milestones in electrochemical energy storage due to their exceptional electrochemical properties. Here, the recent advances in pristine iron triad MOFs cathodes for alkali metal-ion batteries are summarized. The redox reaction mechanisms and essential strategies to boost the electrochemical behaviors in associated electrochemical energy storage devices are also explored. Furthermore, insights into the future prospects related to pristine iron triad MOFs cathodes for lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and potassium-ion batteries are also delivered.

Abstract
Freshwater scarcity is a pressing global concern, and water desalination has emerged as a promising solution. Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have demonstrated exceptional potential in this regard. However, previous efforts to improve the permeability of MOFs have primarily focused on chemical modifications and synthesis rather than exploring physical methods. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we propose that the use of terahertz waves at a specific frequency of 7.5 ± 1.0 THz significantly enhances water permeability across MOF membranes, up to 27-fold, while maintaining effective ion rejection capabilities throughout the process. The mechanism behind this enhancement involves the resonance between the terahertz wave and the hydrogen bond vibrations of water within the MOF. This resonance amplifies the rotational kinetic energy of water molecules, disrupting the hydrogen bonds and causing a phase transition from quasi 1D square ice to a gas-like phase. Additionally, the diffusion behavior shifts from Fickian diffusion to sub-diffusion, resulting in improved water permeation across the MOF membrane. This study highlights the potential of terahertz waves as a physical tool to enhance the permeability of MOFs in water desalination, providing new avenues for efficient water treatment and resource sustainability.

Abstract
Freshwater depletion is an alarm for finding an eco-friendly solution to treat wastewater for drinking and domestic applications. Though several methods like chlorination, filtration, and coagulation-sedimentation are conventionally employed for water treatment, these methods need to be improved as they are not environmentally friendly, rely on chemicals, and are ineffective for all kinds of pollutants. These problems can be addressed by employing an alternative solution that is effective for efficient water treatment and favors commercial aspects. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), an emerging porous material, possess high stability, pore size tunability, greater surface area, and active sites. These MOFs can be tailored; thus, they can be customized according to the target pollutant. Hence, MOFs can be employed as adsorbents that effectively target different pollutants. Bio-MOFs are a kind of MOFs that are incorporated with biomolecules, which also possess properties of MOFs and are used as a nontoxic adsorbent. In this review, we elaborate on the interaction between MOFs and target pollutants, the role of linkers in the adsorption of contaminants, tailoring strategy that can be employed on MOFs and Bio-MOFs to target specific pollutants, and we also highlight the effect of environmental matrices on adsorption of pollutants by MOFs.
