Cooperative Assembly of 2D-MOF Nanoplatelets into Hierarchical Carpets and Tubular Superstructures for Advanced Air Filtration.

Clean air is an indispensable prerequisite for human health. The capture of small toxic molecules requires the development of advanced materials for air filtration. Two-dimensional nanomaterials offer highly accessible surface areas but for real-world applications their assembly into well-defined hierarchical mesostructures is essential.
