Summary
Scientists developed foam materials made from zirconium metal-organic frameworks that can efficiently capture microplastics from water, offering a promising filtration approach for water treatment applications. The porous foam structure provides high surface area for trapping plastic particles.
Zirconium metal–organic frameworks based foam materials have been successfully fabricated and applied in microplastic removal with high efficiency.
