Direct ink writing of catalytically active UiO-66 polymer composites†
Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) hold significant potential for use in gas storage, sensing and catalysis. To uncover this potential, MOF processing must develop in line with MOF materials. Here, direct ink writing-based 3D printing of UiO-66 MOF composites and their thermal treatment give mechanically stable yet highly porous composites effective for the catalytic breakdown of methyl-paraoxon, a simulant of highly toxic organophosphate nerve agents.
