Anthropogenic pollution, climate change, and last but not least global energy crisis that has befallen us in 2021 - are just some of the pressing problems of humanity. Therefore, there is a great need to develop new, highly effective materials to help combat the above global issues. Commonly, highly porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or porous carbons (HPMC) are developed and employed for these purposes, which can bind by adsorption pollutions from water (heavy/toxic metals, organics), air (greenhouse gases), or can act as hydrogen storage materials for fuel cells to produce viable, clean energy. The research team at the Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice (UPJS, Slovak Republic (SR)) has rich, many years of experience in preparing, developing, and applying metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The research team at the University of Ostrava (OSU, Czech Republic (CR)) has recently developed a unique hierarchically porous carbon monolith (HPCM). Our project focuses on developing unique hybrid materials composed of hierarchically porous carbon monoliths (HPCM) and metal-organic frameworks (MOF). "Growing" or encapsulation of micro-and/or nanocrystals of MOFs in the macro-and/or mesoporous system of HPCM could result in hybrid materials (MOF@HPCM) with reduced target disadvantages and enhanced advantages compared to the individual solitary (parent) materials. The main objectives of the project are: 1. direct capture of carbon dioxide as the main component of greenhouse gases, 2. hydrogen storage for energy storage, 3. capture of toxic metals and organic pollutants from wastewater.
