There is a significant need for novelfunctional materials to combat new and increasingproblems arising from the growth of industrialization.The main driving force for the development ofsustainable applications is the 2030 Agenda forSustainable Development, which addresses the urgentenvironmental, political and economic challengesfacing our world. The rapid development oftechnology and science, fosters the advancement inthe innovation of several new products and materialsthat can perform in sustainable applications.Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks (Ln-MOFs)have emerged as one of the most promising andversatile materials to address these concerns.

Vector-borne diseases have since the 17th century been the leading cause of death by disease more than any other causes combined, even preventing development in the tropics (Gubler 1998). Of all insect vectors, Aedes aegypti proves to be the deadliest as it is the primary vector of the four most notorious vector-borne diseases – chikungunya (chik-V), Zika (Zik-V), dengue fever and yellow fever viruses. Control of the spread of Aedesborne diseases is primarily reliant on the control of the vector responsible for their spread. Traditionally, vector control relied on environmental hygiene and the elimination of breeding sites (Gubler 1998), shifting only in the 1980s to the use of synthetic chemicals in the form of carbamate, organochloride, organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticides (Norris, et al. 2015). However, the evolution of Aedes aegypti resistance to synthetic chemicals have made control of the spread of the vector and its diseases increasingly difficult. This led to the exploration of innovative and alternative methods in the control of Aedes aegypti.
