Selective adsorption of volatile organic compounds in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)

Management of typical VOCs in air with adsorbents: status and challenges

“…However, MOFs with different compositions and structures have different bonding ways to different types of VOCs, resulting in different reaction mechanisms. 114 In summary, when there are no special functional groups in VOC molecules, such as aliphatic-VOCs, they tend to rely on non-specific adsorption, such as van der Waals forces. At this time, the adsorption performance is mainly determined by the pore structure of MOFs, and is accompanied by poor selectivity.…”

High-Capacity Iodine Adsorption and Nonporous to Porous Structural Transformation in an Originally Nonporous Coordination Polymer

“…Coordination polymers (CPs) have attracted much interest due to their diverse applications, including adsorption, 1–3 separation, 4–6 catalysis, 7–9 and sensing. 10–12 Adsorption is one of the key functions of this material, and almost all kinds of adsorbates, such as gases, organic vapours, and ions, can be captured by CPs.…”

Biotemplate synthesis of a Co3O4 microtube sensor for fast triethylamine detection

“…Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as primary pollutants in the atmosphere and the environment, can generate PM 2.5 and ozone by photochemical reactions, resulting in many human health problems. 1 Triethylamine (TEA), as one of the VOCs, has been widely used as a polymerization inhibitor and antiputrefactive, as well as in synthetic dyes and other fields. 2 However, it is a toxic and harmful organic compound with a strong smell of ammonia and can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory tract severely, leading to emphysema and even death; it can cause great harm to human health.…”
