In recent years, MOFs derived carbon-based materials have been widely used as green sorbents and efficient persulfate catalysts. This paper introduces the preparation process of MOFs materials and analyzes their advantages and disadvantages. The mechanism of activated persulfate degradation of organic wastewater by MOFs derived carbon materials was reviewed in details, including MOFs derived metal compounds, MOFs derived metal-free carbon materials and MOF derived transition metal/carbon composites. Finally, the application of MOFsderived carbon material adsorption removal and adsorption/oxidation coupling treatment of polluted organic wastewater were summarized.
