New MOF material achieves real-time fluoride removal and detection in water

Recently, a research team led by Prof. Kong Lingtao at the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a new metal-organic framework (MOF)-based material capable of efficiently removing fluoride ions from water while providing real-time visual detection. This breakthrough addresses key limitations of conventional defluoridation methods, which often suffer from low efficiency and separate processes for removal and monitoring.
