Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the crystalline porous coordination polymers are gaining much attention in the field of sorption due to their porous structure and chemical tunability. However, the industrial applications of these fascinating materials are still limited due to the powdery nature of MOFs, leading to poor separation, limited processibility, and secondary waste generation. These critical issues are solved by combining MOFs and processable polymers to produce a hybrid functional material. In this study, a simple technique is adopted to synthesize a dual MOF-polymer system. Chitosan, a polysaccharide composed of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and d-glucosamine units, is used as a polymer matrix due to its active amino and hydroxyl functional groups, making it a suitable coordination point for metal nodes. We create an in situ gel by complexing chitosan with iron (Fe) and introducing the chitosan-Fe complex into a copper sulfate solution. The resulting stable gel undergoes hydrothermal treatment with an organic ligand, leading to the formation of MOF systems within the chitosan matrix. The synthesized aerogel is characterized thoroughly using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The successful incorporation of MOF on chitosan aerogel is proved using diffractogram peaks of PXRD and SEM images. This approach offers new possibilities for developing MOF-based materials with potential applications in various fields.
