A highly stable metal–organic framework derived phosphorus doped carbon/Cu₂O structure for efficient photocatalytic phenol degradation and hydrogen production

Abstract

A MOF derived porous P-doped C/Cu2O composite for phenol degradation and H2 production was developed.

A Review of MOFs and Their Composites‐Based Photocatalysts: Synthesis and Applications

“…Metal oxides are also excellent co‐catalysts to improve the photocatalytic activity of MOFs‐based photocatalysts because of their excellent chemical and physical properties. [ 174–176 ] Until now, many metal oxides have been utilized as co‐catalysts for MOFs, [ 177–188 ] such as TiO 2 , [ 177,178,180,183,184 ] BiVO 4 , [ 179 ] Fe 2 O 3 , [ 181,185,188 ] CuO, [ 186 ] Cu 2 O, [ 182,187 ] etc.…”

Ordered carbonaceous frameworks: a new class of carbon materials with molecular-level design

“…46,47 Such early studies focused on synthesizing carbons with a high specific surface area for supercapacitors and hydrogen-uptake applications. 44,48 These initial studies were followed by an avalanche of research on the synthesis of various types of MOF-and COF-derived carbon materials, including metal-or metal oxide-carbon composites, [49][50][51] N-, P-, or S-doped carbons, [52][53][54][55][56] and core-shell and hollow structural carbons. [57][58][59][60] In particular, the synthesis of core-shell-type carbon composites from core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 MOFs by Yamauchi et al provided much insight for subsequent studies (Fig.…”

Titanium dioxide - activated carbon composite for photoelectrochemical degradation of phenol

“…It proves that the PEC degradation of phenol on TiO2-AC photoanode did not reach equilibrium and tended to complete phenol removal. pH0 of the solution is an important parameter in the photodegradation of phenol because of the variation of charge properties of phenol at different pH values [51]. In this study, PEC degradation of phenol was studied at various pH0 values of solution (3, 4, 5, and 6) with C0 = 20 mg•L −1 .…”
