To military personnel protective clothing is essential when they are exposed to chemical warfare agents. The active component of protective clothing mainly consists of activated carbon, which is characterized by high specific surface area and variable pore size. However, activated carbon can adsorb only limited amounts of chemical agents, and therefore large amounts of active materials are requried to provide longer lasting protection. Attention has been moved to metal-organic compounds (MOFs) in recent years. Clusters of un-coordinated metal ions linked vai organic compounds can offer a promising potential for adsorption and further catalytic reaction. Due to its lightweight and nonflammable characteristics, the co-existence of graphene oxide (GO) with MOFs can lead to the emergence of a promising meterial for protection. Herein, the UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub>@GO composites were designed and investigated for applications in the degradation of chemical agents as protective materials.
