Abstract

Abstract The concept of non‐Crystalline Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) is both theoretically exciting and rich in potential applications. Since their conceptual introduction, research in this field has experienced significant growth. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the design, synthesis, and applications of non‐crystalline MOFs, highlighting the current state of the art. It examines the fundamental principles of non‐crystalline MOFs, the various synthetic approaches, and the nature of non‐crystalline MOFs. Additionally, the review outlines their pathway from the laboratory to industrial applications, emphasizing challenges and opportunities for further development.
