Hierarchical porous metal–organic framework materials for efficient oil–water separation

Abstract

Oil contaminated water is a global issue, decreasing the quality of water sources and is posing a threat to the health of humans and many ecosystems. The utilization of industrial...

Manipulation of Covalent Organic Frameworks by Side-Chain Functionalization: Toward Few Layer Nanosheets

“…This makes the materials interesting candidates for application in oil−water separation. 53 Lastly, as a proof of concept, the good dispersivity of the COF was exploited to integrate them as a separator for Li-ion batteries. The sidechain-functionalized COF-incorporated separator shows superior performance compared to the pristine COF due to a higher diffusion rate of Li ions through the ordered pores of side-chain-functionalized COF homogeneously distributed throughout the modified separator.…”

Functional metal–organic frameworks as adsorbents used for water decontamination: design strategies and applications

“…Hence, hierarchically porous MOFs which possess micropores and mesopore, even macroporous (pore size> 50 nm), become a hot research topic recently. [123][124][125] Hierarchically porous MOFs are similar to the network structure of blood vessels, and the branch diameter of the blood vessels decreases step-by-step and lls in the limited space, 126 and this special structure signicantly improves the mass transfer efficiency and adequately utilizes the active sites in MOFs, as shown in Fig. 3.…”

Fabrication of biodegradable fibrous systems employing electrospinning technology for effluent treatment

“…Over the last few decades, identifying a facile and cost-effective methodology for effluent treatment has become signicant. The present technologies for wastewater treatment, which utilize carbonaceous materials, metal-organic frameworks, zeolites, nanomaterials, titanium/vanadium carbides, and polymers, 10,15,[96][97][98][99][100] induce some drawbacks despite their enhanced prociency. This is ascribed to their nonbiocompatibility, non-biodegradability, non-retrievability, and non-recyclability.…”
