Metal-organic framework derived multi-functionalized and co-doped TiO2/C nanocomposites for excellent visible-light photocatalysis

Phase Transformation Strategies for the Construction of Heterojunction TiO2 Photocatalysts

“…[129] At present, most of the studies on MOF-induced TiO 2 phase transformation are achieved via heat treatment at high temperature. [130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137][138] In the study of Derakhshani et al various phases of TiO 2 were synthesized by utilizing MOF-5 as template, and the mixed phases of anatase and rutile emerged at 800 °C. [139] Kampouri et al prepared TiO 2 derived from MIL-125-NH 2 and controlled the phase ratio by calcining it at different temperatures.…”

Adsorption and Degradation of Volatile Organic Compounds by Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs): A Review

“…In addition, studies on the catalytic applications of MOFs have been conducted by Fischer’s group. Hussain et al [ 121 ] explored the visible light photocatalysis of multifunctional co-doped TiO 2 /C nanocomposites derived from metal–organic frameworks. Multifunctional and co-doped TiO 2 /C nanocomposites were obtained by pyrolysis of Ti-MOFs at 800 °C under different gas environments and their photocatalytic properties were investigated.…”

Emerging applications of metal-organic frameworks and derivatives in solar cells: Recent advances and challenges

“…Moreover, MOFs can provide an excellent platform to generate a variety of nanostructured MOF derivatives by thermal transformation. MOF derivatives, such as porous carbon-based materials, metals, metal oxides, metal chalcogenides (metal sulfides and selenides), metal phosphides and metal carbides as well as diverse carbon-based composite materials become attractive in many applications including catalysis, environment remedy, photocatalysis, energy storage and conversion [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. However, the utilization of MOFs and their derivatives in photovoltaic devices, has received comparatively less attention than in their traditional applications, as a consequence the development of this area is still in its infancy [45][46][47].…”
