The stability and defluoridation performance of MOFs in fluoride solutions

- Stability of MOFs in fluoride solution is controlled by the cooperative effects.
- MOFs are promising adsorbents for defluoridation.
- UiO-66(Zr) has a high adsorption capacity of 41.36 mg g−1.
- Increasing the number of -OH group may improve the defluoridation performance..
