This article mainly discusses the research progress of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) materials in catalyzing the decomposition of fluoroboric acid. Firstly, the structural characteristics, properties, and advantages of MOFs materials in the field of catalysis were introduced. This article elaborates on the current research status of the decomposition reaction of fluoroboric acid, including the limitations of traditional catalytic methods and the significance of introducing MOFs into this field. Next, summarize the relevant research on the catalytic decomposition of fluoroboric acid by MOFs, analyze the relationship between the structure, composition, and catalytic activity of different MOFs, and explore possible catalytic mechanisms. Finally, the future research directions and development trends in this field were discussed, and it was pointed out that MOFs have broad application prospects in catalyzing the decomposition of fluoroboric acid, but further in-depth research is still needed to achieve their practical applications.
