Cu-TCPP Metal-Organic Nanosheets Embedded Thin-Film Composite Membranes for Enhanced Cyanide Detection and Removal: A Multifunctional Approach to Water Treatment and Environmental Safety.

ABSTRACT: Cyanide is highly toxic, with widespread industrial use posing serious environmental risks. Effective materials for detecting and filtering cyanide from water are urgently needed. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing Cu-TCPP (TCPP = o-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine) metal-organic nanosheets (MONS) embedded in thin-film composite membranes, offering a multifunctional solution for cyanide detection and filtration. Ultrathin Cu-TCPP MONs were synthesized using a surfactant-assisted method featuring highly accessible metal centers that enhance cyanide interaction and detection. The membranes, developed by modifying cellulose acetate (CA) with Cu-TCPP MONs, demonstrated exceptional performance for cyanide removal. The 6% Cu-TCPP/CA membrane exhibited a 2.3-fold increase in pu
