Abstract
Because of the importance of large-scale metal-organic framework (MOF) production and processing, the development of practical solutions to obtain commercially relevant MOF-based products is essential. Herein, we demonstrate a feasible pathway to construct functional zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)-coated fabric composite from commercially available precursors, through a scalable synthetic protocol to produce a large quantity of nanoscale ZIF-8, followed by a facile mean to drop-cast the powdered nanoparticles onto the fabric substrate. The ZIF-8/fabric composite shows enhanced organic dye adsorption capability and superior antibacterial property. This simple yet effective preparation process might be readily adopted for the large-scale production of useful MOF-based composite materials.
