Fabrication of ZIF-8 decorated copper doped TiO2 nanocomposite at low ZIF-8 loading for solar energy applications

ZIF-8 metal organic framework materials as a superb platform for the removal and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants: a review

“…Due to its great electrical conductivity, RGO also helped to effectively separate the electron/hole pairs, which decreased the recombination rate, and consequently improved the photo-degradation of MB. 127 Recently, Yurtsever and co-workers 128 investigated the influence of crystallization time and the quantity of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) on the photocatalytic performance of ZIF-8-decorated copper-doped titania powders (Cu–TiO 2 /ZIF-8). They demonstrated that with a decrease in the ZIF-8 content and growth time, the photocatalytic activity was enhanced, and the nanocomposites prepared at 5% ZIF-8 content and 15 min growth time displayed the highest photocatalytic activity with a 1st order rate constant 1.4- and 4-fold higher than that of pristine Cu–TiO 2 and ZIF-8, respectively.…”

“…Alternatively, an additional increase in ZIF-8 level to 46% induced the clumping of these aggregates, leading to a reduction in photocatalytic activity. 128 Outstanding photocatalytic activity was obtained on cotton fabric (CF), which was treated with poly-dopamine (pDA), followed by the in situ deposition of ZIF-8/TiO 2 composites, leading to the formation of the ZIF-8/TiO 2 /pDA/CF hybrid photocatalyst. The formed hybrid was evaluated for the photocatalytic decomposition of MB.…”

Photocatalytic Adsorption Synergistic Degradation of Tetracycline by Z-scheme Bi2WO6/ZIF-8

“…The photoelectron-hole (E-H) recombination rate of the composite was analyzed by PL spectroscopy. The higher the PL peak strength, the lower the separation e ciency of E-H [13]. It could be seen from Figure .1c that the peak intensity of pure ZIF-8 was the strongest, and it showed that the recombination rate of E-H was very fast.…”

“…Synthesis of ZIF-8 ZIF-8 was prepared according to the literature method [13]. Added Zn(NO 3 ) 2 • 6H 2 O (1 mmol) to 50 mL CH 3 OH (A solution), and added 2-MeIm (8 mmol) to 50 mL CH 3 OH (B solution).…”

Polyoxometalate-based metal–organic complexes and their derivatives as electrocatalysts for energy conversion in aqueous systems

“…According to reports in recent years, the introduction of POMs into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has advantages including the formation of high surface area and chemical stability. [54][55][56][57] Among them, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a typical class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). ZIFs exhibit several advantages, including high specific surface area (∼1470 m 2 g −1 ), large voids and abundant active sites.…”
