A kind of metal-organic framework made from γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) and potassium ions were explored as excellent formaldehyde (HCHO) absorbents. The adsorption capacity and speed of γ-CD-MOF-K are both about 9 times higher than those of activated carbon, which are attributed to the porous structure and synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding and host-guest interactions.
