Conventional solution-based approaches rely on hazardous solvents and often form powders that are difficult to integrate into practical devices. On the other hand, vapor-phase approaches generally result in MOF films on silicon substrates that make it difficult to characterize the MOF surface area, which is an important quality indicator. We address these challenges by introducing a solvent-free synthesis method to form MOF–fiber composites, which can be more easily integrated into devices. Additionally, these vapor-phase-formed MOF–fiber composites are compatible with Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis to characterize MOF quality. Atomic layer deposition is used to form a ZnO film on polypropylene, polyester, and nylon fibrous substrates, which is subsequently converted to zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) using 2-methylimidazole vapor. We describe the effects of the ZnO film thickness and MOF conversion conditions on MOF crystallinity and surface area. We report a ZIF-8 surface area of ∼1300 m2/gMOF, which is comparable to reported surface areas of ∼1250–1600 m2/gMOF from conventional synthesis techniques, demonstrating good quality of the solvent-free MOF–fiber composites. We expect these results to extend vapor-phase MOF formation to new, practical substrates for advanced sensing and catalytic applications.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY A}, author={Nye, Rachel A. and Carroll, Nicholas M. and Morgan, Sarah E. and Parsons, Gregory N.}, year={2024}, month={Jan} }

Sorption-vapor synthesis (SVS) is a recently introduced method for MOF-fabric synthesis that allows high yields and rapid reactions and is scalable. However, little is known about the effects and limitations of process parameters on the final MOF-fabric properties and performance. This work investigates process parameter–MOF property–MOF performance relationships for UiO-66-NH2 fabric composites made using a rapid, benign SVS approach and is tested for toxic chemical vapor protection applications. Repeating SVS synthesis, ∼70 min per cycle, on the same fabric substrate led to an increase in MOF loading of 0.13 gMOF/gfiber per cycle and significant change in crystal morphology. It was determined that precursor concentrations >130 mM in the starting solution resulted in nonporous, amorphous MOF formation. The benign SVS method reported here achieved >95% heterogeneous MOF yield determined through scalability experiments. The MOF-fabrics were tested for organophosphate hydrolysis and permeation of both organophosphate and vesicant toxic vapors. It was found that the number of SVS cycles used to make a MOF-fabric significantly impacted performance, and despite having increased porous MOF loading, increasing over three SVS cycles led to reduced organophosphate hydrolysis rates and protection times. This work not only presents insights into the effect of synthesis process parameters on final MOF-fabric properties but also relates those changes to performance in dual toxic vapor protection applications.}, journal={INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH}, author={Morgan, Sarah E.

Here, using only ethanol, water, acetic acid, and γ-valerolactone solvents, we show facile synthesis of MOF-fabric composites using a scalable, sorption-vapor approach. UiO-66-NH2 was integrated onto spandex, polyethylene terephthalate, cotton, nyco, and polypropylene fabrics. MOF-fabrics made with green solvents had higher MOF loading, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, and superior performance for pesticide paraoxon-methyl hydrolysis than corresponding composites made with dimethylformamide (DMF). MOF loading, BET surface area, and performance increased with consecutive coatings of UiO-66-NH2. Process scalability was confirmed by coating 40 in.2 of fabric using only 20 mL of precursor solution, resulting in 76% total MOF heterogeneous yield. Moreover, spandex@UiO-66-NH2 composites made using benign methods outperformed those made with DMF in solid-state hydrolysis of the chemical warfare agent soman.

Here, we report a rapid, high-yield sorption-vapor method for direct simultaneous growth of single and multiple MOF materials onto untreated flexible and stretchable polymer fibers and films. The synthesis utilizes favorable reactant absorption into polymers coupled with rapid vapor-driven MOF crystallization to form high surface area (>250 m2/gcomposite) composites, including UiO-66-NH2, HKUST-1, and MOF-525 on spandex, nylon, and other fabrics. The resulting composites are robust and maintain their functionality even after stretching. Stretchable MOF fabrics enable rapid solid-state hydrolysis of the highly toxic chemical warfare agent soman and paraoxon-methyl simulant. We show that this approach can readily be scaled by solution spray-coating of MOF precursors and to large area substrates.}, number={26}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={Morgan, Sarah E. and Andie M.
