Hydroxyapatite Coated with Co-Based Metal Organic Framework Nanoparticles as Heterojunctions for Catalytic Degradation of Organics

Hydroxyapatite (HA), as a kind of biocompatible inorganic material, is rich in hydroxyl groups on the surface and can easily undergo ion exchange reactions with metal ions. In this study, using HA nanowires (HAnW) as eco-friendly carriers and promoters, a HAnW-based heterojunction (HAnW@CoMOF), in which HA was coated by the cobalt-based metal–organic framework (Co-MOF), was synthesized by a simple in situ growth method and ion exchange method....
