Smart textiles of MOF/g-C₃N₄nanospheres for the rapid detection/detoxification of chemical warfare agents

Abstract

Impregnated cotton textiles with a MOF based nanocomposite revealed a supreme multi-functionality to adsorb/degrade/sense vapors of a nerve agent surrogate.

Hydrogen production and photocatalytic activity of g‐C3N4/Co‐MOF (ZIF‐67) nanocomposite under visible light irradiation

“…Despite great developments in the application of MOF for pollutant degradation and H 2 production, they suffer from the little photocatalytic activity due to the low efficiency in the solar energy utilization, rapid charge recombination, low conductivity, and poor stability . So far, many researchers have attempted to improve the photodegradation efficiency of MOF by embedding metal or metal oxide or sulfides nanoparticles and Graphitic carbon nitrate (g‐C 3 N 4 ) …”

Polymer/Metal Organic Framework (MOF) Nanocomposites for Biomedical Applications

“…The research effort continues to be extensive, with many new MOFs commercially available. Due to the high surface area, porosity, and tailorable size of the pores/cages as a result of the diversity of combination of metal and linkers, MOFs have garnered an enormous boost in attention in the last decades for a wide range of potential applications such as adsorption, gas storage, purification, separation, chemical sensing, and even for selective catalytic processes against toxic compounds [24,25,[37][38][39][40][41]. The pores/cavities are created as free spaces, cages, or voids inside the structure.…”

Extraction of Metal Ions with Metal–Organic Frameworks

“…The stability of the structure is also associated with other factors like the geometry of the coordination between metal-ligand, the surface hydrophobicity, the crystallinity, and the presence of defective sites [40]. The use of additives like graphite oxide, graphitic carbon nitride, nanoparticles, or the deposition on substrates such as carbon, fibers, or textiles, can have a positive effect on the framework stability [41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. In order to evaluate the stability and as a result the properness of utilizing a MOF for adsorption application, the pH and the temperature under which the preconcentration of the metal will take place, must be considered.…”
