Microwave synthesis of Fe–Cu diatomic active center MOF: synergistic cyclic catalysis of persulfate for degrading norfloxacin

Abstract

A heterostructured diatomic catalyst synthesized by a microwave hydrothermal method accelerates interfacial charge transfer and enhances the ability to treat antibiotic wastewater.

A review on development and modification strategies of MOFs Z-scheme heterojunction for photocatalytic wastewater treatment, water splitting, and DFT calculations

“…However, this method requires long periods for the reactions, along with the essential requirements of using organic solvents and applying enormous pressures and temperatures. An alternative technique, commonly known as microwave-assisted synthesis, is widely recognized as a simple and rapid approach that is routinely used to produce small and uniform particles [ 73 ]. Despite its numerous advantages, the emergence of a secondary phase during the process is a prominent drawback of this method.…”

The performance and mechanism of persulfate activated by CuFe-LDHs for ofloxacin degradation in water

“…Under the bimetallic effect between Cu and Fe, the activation efficiency of PS was greatly enhanced. 26 Compared with bimetallic anchoring or doping, layered double hydroxide materials (LDHs) with the general formula 27 as topical layered bimetallic hydroxides, have been considered ideal catalysts for the activation of PS in antibiotic wastewater treatment for the following reasons: (i) LDHs generally contain a transition metal with divalence and trivalence and could be easily adjusted, so the electron transport rate in the PS activation process would be facilitated by the bimetallic synergy effect between metals. 28 (ii) The PS ions could enter the interlayer of LDHs due to interlayer anion exchange interaction.…”
