Description

Supramolecular host-in-host adsorbents that trap perfluorinated pollutants . This project aims to enhance the pore chemistry of metal-organic frameworks by integrating nanocages within their pores. These advanced composites will be applied to trap the types of perfluoroalkyl pollutants that current water treatment approaches fail to address. This research expects to generate significant new knowledge in the areas of host-guest chemistry, materials design, and water remediation. The expected outcomes include the generation of advanced methodologies and techniques to enhance the performance of porous adsorbents. Significant benefits are expected, such as access to high-performance adsorbents that remove toxic pollutants from water and reduce adverse health effects associated with exposure to these harmful pollutants..
