1. A method of making a metal organic framework (MOF)-fabric composite comprising:
introducing a solution to a fabric, wherein the solution comprises a metal salt, a linker, and a solvent;
absorbing the solution onto the fabric, wherein the fabric is on a first roller and wherein the solution is adsorbed onto the fabric as the fabric passes from the first roller to a second roller;
suspending the fabric over a heated vapor for about 10 minutes to 24 hours such that the vapor releases vapor onto the fabric, wherein the metal salt, the linker, and the solvent diffuse out of a plurality of polymer fibers, wherein the linker links metal in the metal salts to form crystals attached to the fabric, and wherein the vapor aids in crystallization.
