Multivariate Metal-Organic Framework/Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Buckypaper for Selective Lead Decontamination.

ABSTRACT: The search for efficient technologies empowering the selective capture of environmentally harmful heavy metals from wastewater treatment plants, at affordable prices, attracts wide interest but constitutes an important technological challenge. We report here an eco-friendly single-walled carbon nanotube buckypaper (SWCNT-BP) enriched with a multivariate amino acid-based metal-organic framework (MTV-MOF) for the efficient and selective removal of Pb²⁺ in multicomponent water systems. Pristine MTV-MOF was easily immobilized within the porous network of entangled SWCNTs, thus obtaining a stable self-standing adsorbing membrane filter (MTV-MOF/SWCNT-BP). SWCNT-BP alone shows a moderately good removal performance with a maximum adsorption capacity of 180 mg·g^-1 and
