Abstract

As smart electronic textiles (e-textiles) rapidly emerge as a transformative technology in advanced functional materials, a significant gap remains in developing multifunctional devices for air quality management and monitoring. This study addresses this challenge by demonstrating the first example of simultaneous sulfur dioxide (SO2) sensing and filtration using a copper-based hexahydroxytriphenylene (Cu3(HHTP)2) metal-organic framework (MOF) incorporated into polyester textiles via a scalable templated fabrication method. First, the prepared MOF/textile composites meet the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) permissible exposure limit (PEL) with sub-ppm sensing capabilities, while offering high SO2 adsorption capacity and device regenerability. Second, this work provides valuable fundamental insights into the interactions between MOF and SO2 through a combination of experimental and computational studies, revealing the pathway by which SO2 is converted into less-toxic sulfate species. This understanding will contribute to future research on MOF-based air pollutant remediation. Third, the scalable fabrication method up to 100 cm2 dimension lays the groundwork for the production of largearea MOF/textile devices. The scalability enhances the potential for widespread use of MOF materials in wearable sensors and personal protective equipment (PPE), where timely detection and filtration of harmful gases are crucial. Ultimately, this research establishes the scientific basis for the integration of functional MOFs into next-generation smart textiles, with promising applications in environmental monitoring, health protection, and air remediation.
