HKUST-1(Cu) and MOF-5(Zn) were successfully embedded with the macroporous polyHIPE matrix using in-situ growth of MOFs through secondary recrystallization from CuO and ZnO nanoparticles. New synthetic approach enables high MOF lading with the polymer matrix and at the same time high micropore accessibility for the gas molecules adsorption. Polymer matrix ensures hydrophobic environment for incorporated MOFs enabling their superior structure hydrostability and durable CO2 adsorption under the humid conditions.
