Because organophosphate-based nerve agents still pose a significant threat to society, development of an efficient catalyst for detoxification is highly desirable and yet challenging. In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Farha et al. report a Zr-MOF/hydrogel composite for rapid hydrolysis of nerve agents and achieve the highest efficiency to date under practical conditions.

MOF/水凝胶催化剂用于有效降解神经毒剂

由于基于有机磷酸盐的神经毒剂仍然对社会构成重大威胁，因此开发一种有效的解毒催化剂是非常可取的，但又具有挑战性。在本期Chem Catalysis 中，Farha 等人。报告了一种用于神经毒剂快速水解的 Zr-MOF/水凝胶复合材料，并在实际条件下实现了迄今为止的最高效率。
