Abstract

The imperfection instability, recyclability, and separation factors of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) limit their practical applications in the field of catalysis and water purification. Designing MOFs that are benign, flexible, and separable is still a critical challenge. Up to now, most of MOFs have been coated with conventional synthetic polymers, which are undegradable and carcinogenic. However, no studies have reported the stepwise growth of biocompatible polymer-capped Fe3O4 (PFe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) onto the NH2-MIL-125 (Ti) surface (ternary composite). In this study, a simple stepwise embedding of PFe3O4 NPs onto NH2-MIL-125 (Ti) was successfully employed and used for efficient aquatic scavenging, which can allow synergetic cooperative adsorption with functionality on both the biopolymer and MOF surface. The obtained transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution TEM images illustrate that the PFe3O4 NPs were uniformly embedded onto the surface of the MOF. The composite was employe...
