Metal-Organic Framework-Based Remediation of Microplastic for Environment Sustainability
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as high-surface-area adsorbents for microplastic remediation, finding their tunable pore structures and functional groups enable selective capture of plastic particles from aquatic environments, offering a promising materials science approach to pollution control.
Microplastic (MPs) pollution has emerged as a worldwide environmental issue due to its constant presence in various ecosystems and potential threats to human health and biodiversity. In response to this concern, novel approaches are sought for effective microplastic...
