This research developed a new material, CuBDC@Textile, by growing copper-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) directly onto cotton fabric using a simple solvothermal method. Unlike traditional MOF powders, this textile-integrated form is more practical for applications. The CuBDC@Textile demonstrated dual functionality: it acts as a solid sensor for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and an adsorbent. It exhibited excellent vapochromic properties, allowing for highly selective and sensitive naked-eye detection of pyridine. Furthermore, the material showed a high adsorption capacity for pyridine, capturing 137.9 mg g−1 via pervaporation.
Metal-organic frameworks are promising materials, but their powder form often limits practical use. Integrating them into textiles offers a flexible and accessible format. This innovation provides a new way to detect and remove harmful volatile organic compounds like pyridine, which is crucial for environmental monitoring and safety applications.
This early-stage research could enable the development of flexible, textile-based sensors and adsorbents for volatile organic compounds, specifically pyridine. Potential users include industries requiring real-time detection of hazardous gases or those needing to remove specific pollutants from air or industrial streams. The dual sensor and adsorbent functionality suggests applications in personal protective equipment or environmental monitoring devices.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) improved several trends and are promising for industrial applications. However, current synthesis processes offer powder form, rendering their applications difficult. A simple solvothermal method offered an in situ growth of copper‐based MOFs, for example, CuBDC (BDC: benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxylic acid) into a cotton textile; the material was denoted as CuBDC@Textile. CuBDCTextile was used as a solid sensor and adsorbent for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It exhibited good vapochromic properties that enabled a colorimetric detection of pyridine (Py) via naked eyes with high selectivity and good sensitivity. Adsorption of pyridine via pervaporation using CuBDC@Textile was recorded. CuBDCTextile is a flexible textile with a high adsorption capacity (137.9 mg g −1 ) toward pyridine. It offered dual functional: sensor probe and adsorbent. The synthesis of CuBDC@Textile and their excellent performance as a sensor and adsorbent are promising for further investigation of the “MOFs on textile materials” topic.
