Toxin-Blocking Textiles: Rapid, Benign, Roll-to-Roll Production of Robust MOF-Fabric Composites for Organophosphate Separation and Hydrolysis.

ABSTRACT: Current approaches to create zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) fabric composites for catalysis, water purification, wound healing, gas sorption, and other applications often rely on toxic solvents, long reaction/post processing times, and batch methods hindering process scalability. Here, a novel mechanism was reported for rapid UiO-66-NH₂ synthesis in common low-boiling-point solvents (water, ethanol, and acetic acid) and revealed acid-base chemistry promoting full linker dissolution and vapor-based crystallization. The mechanism enabled scalable roll-to-roll production of mechanically resilient UiO-66-NH₂ fabrics with superior chemical protective capability. Solvent choice and segregated spray delivery of organic linker and metal salt MOF precursor solut
