Retracted: Synthesis characterization of Zn-based MOF and their application in degradation of water contaminants

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently popular porous materials with research and application value in various fields such as medicine and engineering. Aiming at the application of MOFs in photocatalysis, this paper mainly reviews the main synthesis methods of ZnMOFs and the latest research progress of ZnMOFs-based photocatalysts to degrade organic pollutants in water, such as organic dyes. This nanomaterial is being used to treat wastewater and has proven to be very efficient because of its exceptionally large surface area and porous nature. The results show that Zn-MOFs are capable of high degradation of the above pollutants and over 90% of degradation was observed in literatures. In addition, the reusability percentage was examined and studies showed that Zn-MOFs nanostructure has very good stability and can continue to degrade a high percentage of pollutants after several cycles. This review focuses on Zn-MOFs and their composites. First, the methods of synthesis and characterization of these compounds are given. Finally, the application of these composites in the process of photocatalytic degradation of dye pollutants such as MB, methyl orange (MO), crystal violet (CV), RhB, etc. is explained.

Metal‐Organic Frameworks for Efficient Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide

“…It is established that SEM images can confirm the morphology of MOFs, while the EDS system may suggest the distribution of the chemical elements through energy-dispersive x-rays. [81][82][83] For example, SEM and EDS tests were conducted on M2M-, M4M-, M6M-, and M10M-MOF-74 materials. EDS data depicted the distribution of all the metal nodes throughout the area of the crystalline particles signifying the effective incorporation of all the 10 metals in M10M-MOF-74 catalyst.…”

“…SEM and EDS are basically used systems for the characterization of both material composition and morphology. It is established that SEM images can confirm the morphology of MOFs, while the EDS system may suggest the distribution of the chemical elements through energy‐dispersive x‐rays [81–83] . For example, SEM and EDS tests were conducted on M2M‐, M4M‐, M6M‐, and M10M‐MOF‐74 materials.…”

“…It also possesses favorable properties such as easy functionalization and good physical and chemical characteristics, making it highly promising for various applications 3,4 . At present, they are versatile as sonosensitizer, 5 photoluminescence sensing platform, 6–8 electrochemical sensing platform, 9,10 degradation of water contaminants, 11,12 gas uptake, 13 cargo (gene and drug) delivery systems, 1,5 catalysis, 14 and energy storage and conversion 15 . Notably, MOFs and their derivatives, owing to their excellent biocompatibility, porosity, and small size, have found utility in biomedical fields like wound dressings for anti‐inflammatory and antibacterial purposes 5 .…”

Metal‐Organic Framework (MOF)‐Based Clean Energy Conversion: Recent Advances in Unlocking its Underlying Mechanisms

“…Based on the study of these advantages and disadvantages of MOFs materials, researchers have worked on synthetic MOFs electrocatalysts by various methods, such as hydrothermal, solvothermal, template, microwave, ultrasonic methods, etc. [17,22,23] MOF-based materials are broadly categorized into MOFs and MOF derivatives. MOFs are generally of the following types: isoreticular metal-organic framework, zeolitic imidazolate framework, coordination pillared-layer, materials of institut lavoisier, porous coordination network, university of oslo, etc.…”
