The preparation of MOFs/Cellulose composites and their application in water treatment
Metal-organic framework materials(MOFs)cannot be widely used due to their powder state,which is compensated by the combination with a large number of hydroxyl sites on the surface of cellulose materials.The composites combining MOFs and cellulose(i.e.,MOFs/cellulose composites)are currently used for applications in water treatment,such as heavy metals,organic dyes,pharmaceutical wastewater,and uranium treatment.This paper reviews the progress of MOFs/cellulose composites for water treatment applications in recent years.Firstly,it adopts a visualization method to make a map of MOFs/cellulose materials in recent years,introduces the preparation methods of MOFs/cellulose composites,and analyzes the advantages and limitations of each of them;at the same time,it describes the application examples of MOFs/cellulose composites in water treatment,including adsorption,catalytic,and membrane separation;and finally looks forward to the prospect of its development.
