Metal Oxide-Derived MOF-74 Polymer Composites through Pickering Emulsion-Templating: Interfacial Recrystallization, Hierarchical Architectures, and CO₂ Capture Performances.

ABSTRACT: Currently, metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer composites are attracting great interest as a step forward in making MOFs a useful material for industrially relevant applications. However, most of the research is engaged with finding promising MOF/polymer pairs and less with the synthetic methods by which these materials are then combined, albeit hybridization has a significant impact on the properties of the new composite macrostructure. Thus, the focus of this work is on the innovative hybridization of MOFs and polymerized high internal phase emulsions (polyHIPEs), two classes of materials that exhibit porosity at different length scales. The main thrust is the in situ secondary recrystallization, i.e., growth of MOFs from metal oxides previously fixed in polyHIPEs by the Pickering HIPE
