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.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 September 2023.
All research outputs
#16,472,441
of 25,026,088 outputs
Outputs from ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
#10,415
of 19,756 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#173,918
of 339,452 outputs
Outputs of similar age from ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
#151
of 395 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,026,088 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 19,756 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 339,452 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 395 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
