Reviewer 2 Report

Comment:

This review summarized the state-of-art advances of MOFs/biomass, bio-MOFs and their derivatives,which could endow MOFs with additional unique advantage, such as improved biocompatibility and mechanical strength, ideal reusability and stability, lower production costs. In addition, the challenges and prospects of MOFs/biomass and bio-MOFs were also discussed. This review is well structured and well written, only has some minor comments as listed below.

  1. There are quite a number of grammatical errors throughout the manuscript and the authors should ask someone with better English proficiency to proofread it.
  2. There are some problems about mixing singular and plural forms in the article.
  3. I think the corresponding metal ions and references of bio-MOFs should be added in Table 1.

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

I reviewed the modified version of the manuscript ““Recent advancement in MOFs/biomass and Bio-MOFs multifunctional materials: A review”. I consider that this manuscript deals with an interesting topic appropriate for publication in Sustainability MDPI.

I think that the authors made most of the reviewer´s proposed modifications for the document and those main issues/comments have been reasonably addressed. Therefore, the manuscript enhanced significantly. Thus, in view of all these observations I support the publication of this contribution.
