In addition to its adjustable functionality, structural tunability, and compositional tunability, metal-organic frameworks, often known as MOFs, are a distinct form of crystalline porous material. When reduced to two dimensions, ultrathin layers of metalorganic framework retain more of its fantastic external features, which is beneficial for a variety of technological applications. Due to their ultrathin atomic-level thickness, their easily modifiable structure, and their huge surface area, 2D MOF nanosheets and their nanocomposites have been the subject of a significant amount of research. Since many poisons cause cancer in both people and fish, water pollution is a rising environmental concern that must be addressed. Due to the fact that its pore structure is both adjustable and regular, MOF, which contains multifunctional organic ligands and metallic ions, is one of the materials that presents the greatest challenge. MOFs perform exceptionally well in processes involving membrane separation and adsorption. This review explores most recent advancements in wastewater treatment (WWT) by using 2D MOFs mechanism.&#xD.
