A Versatile Shaping Method of Very‐High Loading Porous Solids Paper Adsorbent Composites
Résumé
Owing to their high porosity and tunability, porous solids such as
metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolites, or activated carbons (ACs) are of
great interest in the fields of air purification, gas separation, and catalysis,
among others. Nonetheless, these materials are usually synthetized as
powders and need to be shaped in a more practical way that does not modify
their intrinsic property (i.e., porosity). Elaborating porous, freestanding and
flexible sheets is a relevant shaping strategy. However, when high loadings
(>70 wt.%) are achieved the mechanical properties are challenged. A new
straightforward and green method involving the combination softwood
bleached kraft pulp fibers (S) and nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC) is reported,
where S provides flexibility while NFC acts as a micro-structuring and
mechanical reinforcement agent to form high loadings porous solids paper
sheets (>70 wt.%). The composite has unobstructed porosity and good
mechanical strength. The sheets prepared with various fillers (MOFs, ACs,
and zeolites) can be rolled, handled, and adapted to different uses, such as air
purification. As an example of potential application, a MOF paper composite
has been considered for the capture of polar volatile organic compounds
exhibiting better performance than beads and granules.
