Rapid collection and re-dispersion of MOF particles by a simple and versatile method using a thermo-responsive polymer

An easy but versatile method for fast thermal-responsive dispersion and collection of MOF particles in water.

MOF particles can be easily collected and re-dispersed in water with the help of a free thermo-responsive polymer. Compared to the polymer grafting approaches reported in the literature, this method requires no chemical reactions and it is highly energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly.
