In addition to their adjustable functionality, structural tunability, and compositional tunability, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), often known as MOFs, are a distinct form of crystalline porous material. When reduced to two dimensions, ultrathin layers of MOF retain more of its fantastic external features, which is beneficial for a variety of technological applications. Due to their ultrathin atomic-level thickness, easily modifiable structure, and huge surface area, 2D MOF nanosheets and nanocomposites have been the subject of significant research. MOFs are considered intriguing materials for removing toxic contaminants among the novel technologies taken into account in water remediation processes because they exhibit numerous qualities that make them advantageous in water treatment: large surface area, easily functionalizable cavities, a few stable in water, large-scale synthesis, etc Nowadays, water pollution is a rising environmental concern that must be addressed. Due to their special qualities, which include chemical activities, a variety of functionalities, excellent stability, and the ability to be modified for the detection or adsorption of particular molecules, MOFs are widely used in detecting and removing contaminants from water. This review explores most recent wastewater treatment advancements (WWT) using the 2D MOFs mechanism.
