? 2022Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) has presented great potential as supports for functional membrane materials owing to its unique advantages. In this work, NFC-supported MOF hierarchically porous membranes were synthesized by anchoring HKUST-1 (copper 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate open-framework) on NFC membrane through a green DMF-free (N,N-Dimethylformamide) method at room temperature and afterward, the as-prepared composite membrane was used to remove formaldehyde from the air. The addition of HKUST-1 particles significantly increased the specific surface area of NFC membrane without affecting the NFC properties. Meanwhile, the nucleation and growth process of HKUST-1 on the NFC membrane could be effectively regulated, which further controlled the morphology of HKUST-1 as well as the anchored position of HKUST-1. When HKUST-1 was anchored on the interior and surface of the membrane, HKUST-1 reduced the compactness of the arrangement between fibers, which resulted in a hierarchical porous structure and then exposed more active adsorption sites of HKUST-1 particles. Thus, the flexible composite membranes exhibited effective formaldehyde adsorption from a low formaldehyde concentration environment (3.0 mg/m3). Under the optimum conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity of the HKUST-1@NFC-1 for formaldehyde reached 378.09 mg/g (based on HKUST-1 wt), which was considerably higher than support-free HKUST-1 powders. Consequently, the present work offers a green and controllable route to prepare NFC-supported MOF composite membranes with highly effective formaldehyde adsorption capacity and thus provides a promising option for NFC application as a flexible adsorbent support.
