Trifunctional metal–organic platform for environmental remediation: structural features with peripheral hydroxyl groups facilitate adsorption, degradation and reduction processes

Abstract

A Cd(ii)-based metal–organic framework (MOF) has been demonstrated to have trifunctional properties, namely as an efficient and selective adsorbent for dyes, a visible-light-active photocatalyst for the degradation of dyes and a photocatalyst for Cr(vi) reduction.

What triggers dye adsorption by metal organic frameworks? The current perspectives

“…Moreover, the kinetics of the reaction was also investigated, which suggests a pseudo-first-order process for the degradation of RhB and MO. 269 Furthermore, two designed porous materials,…”

Photocatalytic active silver organic framework: Ag(I)‐MOF and its hybrids with silver cyanamide

“…[ 1 ] Persist organic dyes, such as Rhodamine B (RhB) may pose serious threats to livings health by damaging organism organs. [ 2 ] Therefore, many techniques have been developed to rapidly and efficiently remove these persist organic contaminates from waste water. [ 3–6 ] Since Fujishima and Honda reported the photocatalytic splitting of water by TiO 2 photoanode in 1972, [ 7 ] photocatalytic technology has been mostly concentrated on due to its huge potential to completely mineralize the organic pollutants into carbon dioxides and water.…”

Hydrothermal Assisted Synthesis of ZnFe2O4 Embedded g‐C3N4 Nanocomposite with Enhanced Charge Transfer Ability for Effective Removal of Nitrobenzene and Cr(VI)

“…In recent past, several binary nanocomposites of g‐C 3 N 4 has been synthesized by various research groups to improve its photocatalytic performance. The metal oxide composite with g‐C 3 N 4 like CoFe 2 O 4 /g‐C 3 N 4 , g‐C 3 N 4 /ZnO, CaTiO 3 /g‐C 3 N 4 , N‐ZnO/g‐C 3 N 4 , g‐C 3 N 4 /Bi 2 WO 6 has been developed with efficient visible light absorption ability . The formation of heterojunction between g‐C 3 N 4 and other metal oxide nanostructures has effectively decreased the recombination rate of photoexcited charge carriers which enhances the overall photocatalytic efficiency.…”
