Synthesis of nanocellulose aerogels and Cu-BTC/nanocellulose aerogel composites for adsorption of organic dyes and heavy metal ions

Abstract MOFs compounds with open metal sites, particularly Cu-BTC, have great potential for adsorption and catalysis applications. However, the powdery morphology limits their applications. One of the almost new ways to overcome this problem is to trap them in a standing and flexible aerogel matrix...
