Abstract

Biological hazards caused by bacteria, viruses, and toxins have become a major survival and development issue facing the international community. However, the traditional method of disinfection and sterilization is helpless in dealing with viruses that spread quickly and are highly infectious. Metal-organic framework (MOF) biocidal materials hold promise as superior alternatives to traditional sterilization materials because of their stable framework structures and unique properties. Now, we demonstrate for the first time the synthesis of a MOF (TIBT-Cu) containing Cu metal centers and tetraiodo-4,4′-bi-1,2,4-triazole as the main ligand. This novel MOF biocidal material has good thermal stability (Td = 278 °C), excellent mechanical sensitivity, and a high bacteriostatic efficiency (>99.90%). Additionally, the particles produced by the combustion of TIBT-Cu are composed of active iodine substances and CuO particles, which can act synergistically against harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. This study provides a new perspective for the preparation of highly effective bactericidal materials.
