A Novel Sustainable Semiconductor/Metal-organic Framework Coated Electret Filter for Simultaneous Removal of PM2.5 and VOCs by Yu Zhang, Zan Zhu, Wei-Ning Wang, Sheng-Chieh Chen

“…Abstract A MIL-125-NH2 metal-organic framework (MOF) coated electret filter, named E-MOFilter, was previously developed to simultaneously remove PM2.5 (particulate matter less than 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs, e.g., toluene). This E-MOFilter captures toluene primarily through physical adsorption, however, degradation of the adsorbed VOCs is desired for increasing the service life of the filter. …”
