Metal-organic framework nanopesticide carrier for accurate pesticide delivery and decrement of groundwater pollution

Zirconium-based metal–organic frameworks: the relation between linker connectivity, structure stability, and catalytic activity towards organophosphates

“…The chemical stability or more specifically, stability in a water environment, is crucial for many applications including adsorption and catalytic degradation of pollutants, sensing, antibacterial and antiviral use, 22,27–31 drug delivery, 32 or special applications such as using MOFs as pesticide carriers. 33 All those applications require aqueous media; therefore, MOFs’ hydrolytic stability is of crucial importance. Laboratory testing is often limited to neat water; however, in real-life applications (the use of real contaminated water, body fluids, etc. )…”
