Advanced porous materials apms as host to develop composite materials stability and functional studies

Abstract

Porosity is an important property of materials and observed in rocks soils biological tissues ceramics zeolites etc The exquisite control over the order and functionality of porous architectures led to the design of materials for challenging applications The study of advanced porous materials APMs encompassing metal organic frameworks MOFs covalent organic frameworks COFs metal organic gel MOG metal organic polyhedras MOP and others has progressed rapidly in the past two decades particularly in energy and environment related applications But among APMs the growth of carboxylate MOP lag significantly behind to their contemporary materials due to their inherent water instability and solid state aggregation properties Very recently APMs has drawn escalating interest for accommodating various unstable functional materials due to their high surface area guest induced flexibility and specifically host guest synergistic interactions In this regard the design strategies were focused on using the APMs matrix which was specially targeted for multifunctional applications In brief outer surface hydrophobic shielding strategy has been utilized for stabilization of carboxylate MOP Further the aggregating nature of MOP has been resolved via integration in COF matrix and the resulting composite material was utilized for decontamination of water which is a pressing global concern in the 21st century In addition we successfully transformed extremely unstable volatile hybrid halide perovskite to water stable material by encapsulating into APMs matrix like MOFs and MOG respectively Our advanced stabilization strategies and outcomes validate the advantages of APMs in a diverse range of applications newline newline
