In-situ construction of hierarchically porous MOF monoliths using high internal phase emulsion templates

The construction of MOF monoliths can solve the drawbacks of MOF powders in practical applications that can cause high pressure drop, low mass transfer efficiency, clogging, and complicated operation and recycling treatment, but there are still problems such as MOF pore clogging, difficulty in tuning the pore structure of the monoliths, and poor mechanical properties. Herein, nearly pure ZIF-8 monoliths with hierarchical pore structure were …
