Abstract

Earth-abundant Al-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are shown for the first time to rapidly neutralize a toxic vesicant simulant via catalytic oxidation. A unique metal oxide coordination replication approach facilitates integration of the active MOF film onto commercial non-woven textile in a conformal and well-adhered coating. Under visible light, this chemical protective composite material enables extremely fast vesicant simulant detoxification compared with the same MOFs in conventional powder form, indicating its promising practical implementation against hazardous chemicals.
