The chapter discusses the synthesis and characterization of metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived materials, highlighting recent advancements and future perspectives. MOFs, known for their tunable structures and properties, are used as precursors or templates to create various MOF-derived materials, including porous carbon, metal oxides, sulfides, and nanocomposites. The synthesis techniques, such as direct and indirect carbonization, thermal decomposition, and chemical solution reactions, are detailed, along with the optimization of parameters like temperature, time, and atmosphere to achieve desired properties. The chapter also covers the characterization methods, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), which are essential for understanding the structural, mechanical, and physicochemical properties of these materials. The review emphasizes the potential of MOF-derived materials in advanced applications, such as energy storage, catalysis, and sensing, and discusses the challenges and future trends in their development.The chapter discusses the synthesis and characterization of metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived materials, highlighting recent advancements and future perspectives.
