Drinking water contamination with heavy metals, particularly lead, is a persistent problem worldwide grave public health consequences. Existing purification methods often cannot address this quickly and economically. Here we report cheap, stable metal-organic framework/polymer composite, Fe-BTC/PDA, that exhibits rapid, selective removal of large quantities such as Pb2+ Hg2+, from real world samples.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer great promise in a variety of gas- and liquid-phase separations. However, the excellent performance on lab scale hardly translates into pilot- or industrial-scale applications due to microcrystalline nature MOFs. Therefore, structuring MOFs pellets beads is highly solicited timely requirement. In this work, general method developed for preparing MOF-polymer composite based an easy polymerization strategy. This adopts biocompatible, biodegradable...

In this contribution, recent advances in the construction of MOF-polymer composites and their corresponding applications are briefly reviewed. The appearance such architectures is becoming prominent literature, due to fact that union these two dissimilar components can give rise a number desirable properties not necessarily achieved by individual components. For instance, while MOFs already boast unprecedented internal surface areas highly tunable pore structures, they often suffer from...
