Nanoporous materials include a regular organic or inorganic framework that support a regular porous structure. The size of these pores is nearly 100 nanometers (nm) or smaller. Most of these materials are available as membranes or bulky materials. These materials have excellent catalytic and absorbent properties, due to their large surface areas. Further, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has segregated these materials into microporous materials with 0.2–2 nm pore size, mesoporous materials with 2–50 nm pore size, and microporous materials with pore size above 50 nm.

Nanoporous materials find applications in nano reactors, guest-host interaction, and low dielectric constant mediation. These materials are also used as absorbents, catalysts, and ion exchangers. Moreover, these are needed in biomedical applications for decontamination, slowing drug release, inhibiting bacteria, and filtration in hemodialysis. With the rising demand for absorbents and biomedical products, the market for nanoporous materials is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.3% during 2016–2022. According to P&S Intelligence, the market stood at $6,411.7 million in 2015.
Nanoporous materials have distinctive chemical and physical properties like chemical resistance, thermal stability, impedance, conductance, large surface area, and hardness. An increase in surface-to-volume ratio offers improved signal, due to a reaction between analyte and surface. Besides, miniaturization of nanoporous membranes helps in smooth amalgamation of these membranes into microchips. Additionally, the pores chemistry can be transformed in regulated manner to bind certain biomolecules, such as lipid, enzyme, and protein, to the surface of these membranes. All these features have led to the utilization of these membranes in the development of several electrochemical sensors.
Thus, the absorbent, catalytic, and biosensing characteristics of nanoporous materials will increase the prospects of these substances in several end-use sectors.
