Multi-capture site design in a bifunctional Zr-MOF for broad-spectrum and efficient removal of short- and long-chain PFASs

Key Points

• Bifunctional MOF-808 effectively captures both short and long-chain PFAS, showcasing significant efficiency in removal.
• A unique pore effect reduces adsorption of C5 PFAS, implying a targeted action in complex mixtures.
• Assessment of the MOF's performance reveals it is reusable in wastewater settings, highlighting its practicality for continuous applications.
• This strategy highlights the potential to tackle environmental contamination from PFAS effectively via advanced materials.
