Developing　environmentalyl　friendly　and　energy-efficient　CO2　adsorbents　for　post-combustion　capture　is　a　critical　step　toward　achieving　toward　carbon　neutrality.　While　aqueous　amines　and　metal　oxides　have　play　pivotal　roles　in　CO2　capture,　their　application　is　limited　by　issues　such　as　secondary　pollution　and　high　energy　consumption.　In　contrast,　Zn-based　metal-organic　frameworks　(Zn-based　MOFs)　have　emerged　as　a　green　alternative,　offering　low　toxicity　reduced　regeneration　temperatures,　and　high　efficiency　in　both　CO2　adsorption　and　catalytic　conversion　into　valuable　fuels　and　chemicals.　This　mini　review　begins　with　a　general　introduction　to　MOFs　in　CO2　capture　and　conversion,　followed　by　an　overview　of　early　studies　on　Zn-based　MOFs　for　CO2　capture.　It　then　summarizes　recent　research　advancements　in　Zn-based　MOFs　for　integrated　CO2　capture　and　conversion.　Finally,　it　discusses　key　challenges　and　future　research　directions　for　post-combustion　CO2　capture　and　conversion　using　Zn-based　MOFs.　©　Higher　Education　Press　2025.
