Research progress in preparation and application of fabric-based metal-organic frameworks composites

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) materials, as third generation porous materials, have attracted much attention due to their functional properties such as high specific surface area, high stability and chemical modifiability, especially, the application of loading on various lightweight and flexible substrates is a rapidly growing field. The progress of loading MOFs on textile materials as substrate carriers was reviewed, and an introduction to the construction of fabric-based MOFs composites by solvothermal method, layer by layer method and spray printing method was given, and the application scenarios of different preparation methods were pointed out according to the differences of preparation methods. The composite mechanism of this type of material was summarized. The methods for enhancing the bonding and firmness of MOFs with substrate materials for the durability of composite materials were described. The latest research results on the application of such composites in the fields of superhydrophobic self-cleaning and self-sterilizing textiles were presented. Finally, it was pointed out that the mass production methods of fabric-based MOFs composites and their durability under real environmental conditions are the key step towards a wide range of applications, and their more integrated functions are the key direction for future research.
