Combining Two into One: A Dual-Function H5PV2Mo10O40 @MOF-808 Composite as a Versatile Decontaminant for Sulfur Mustard and Soman
Due to the unpredictable nature of a battlefield environment, in the simultaneous degradation of sulfur mustard and nerve agents it is preferable to use just one decontaminant. Herein, the new composite HPVMo@MOF-808 (HPVMo = H5PV2Mo10O40) was deliberately synthesized via a simple impregnation method and thoroughly characterized. The results showed that the decontamination rate of the composites (30-40 mg) with optimal HPVMo loadings for HD (4 mu L) and GD (4 mu L) under ambient conditions was 97.2% (within 120 min) and 90.8% (within 30 min), respectively. Due to the combinational/synergistic effect of MOF-808 and encapsulated homogeneously dispersed HPVMo, the composite can very efficiently oxidize HD to nontoxic products in a single system, while retaining the inherent excellence of MOF-808 in hydrolytically degrading GD. The decontamination process was found to follow first-order reaction kinetics, and the rate constant and half-life of the composite for HD and GD were 0.0231 min(-1), 30.13 min and 0.0795 min(-1), 8.72 min, respectively. In addition, experimental results in guinea pigs and Kunming mice used as animal models showed that the composite provided effective skin protection against HD and GD, showing great potential for application in skin decontamination and protection.
