Scalable robust nano-porous Zr-based MOF adsorbent with high-capacity for sustainable water purification

TOC: Robust nano-adsorbents MOF-808def with scalable application potential exhibit an exceptional sustainable water purification ability, outperforming state-of-the-art water-stable MOFs, other commercial and inorganic nano-absorbents, via a combined mechanism of physisorption (i.e., electrostatic interaction (EI) and hydrogen bonding) and the dominant chemisorption (i.e., COC bonding).
