MIL-101(Fe) nanodot-induced improvement of adsorption and photocatalytic activity of carbon fiber/TiO2-based weavable photocatalyst for removing pharmaceutical pollutants

Sustainable and reusable electrospun g-C3N5/MIL-101(Fe)/poly(acrylonitrile-co-maleic acid) nanofibers for photocatalytic degradation of emerging pharmaceutical pollutants

“…37,38 For pure MIL-101(Fe), four characteristic peaks at 8.9°, 9.5°, 16.5°, and 19.2° were matched well with the other reported works. 39–41 In comparison with the characteristic peaks of pure g-C 3 N 5 and MIL-101(Fe), new characteristic diffraction peaks of the g-C 3 N 5 /MIL-101(Fe) heterojunction at 7.3°, 15.2°, 17.0°, 30.7°, 38.2°, 44.3°, 50.7°, and 59.4° appeared, indicating that the new crystal structure was formed due to the strong coupling interaction between the g-C 3 N 5 and MIL-101(Fe) in the heterojunction. The new crystallinity of g-C 3 N 5 /MIL-101(Fe) could be beneficial to improve the electron transfer and enhance the photocatalytic performance of the heterojunction.…”

“…37,38 For pure MIL-101(Fe), four characteristic peaks at 8.91, 9.51, 16.51, and 19.21 were matched well with the other reported works. [39][40][41] In comparison with the characteristic peaks of pure g- NFs, respectively, according to the results of the N 2 adsorptiondesorption isotherms in Table S2 (ESI †).…”

Recent Progress in the Development of MOF-Based Photocatalysts for the Photoreduction of Cr(VI)

“…CFs offer numerous interesting features such as high conductivity, high mechanical stability, excellent flexibility, and a light weight . They can be easily weavable to form carbon cloth for stabilizing NPs and MOFs for photocatalytic applications . The resulting hybrid bundles were woven into a macroscopical cloth (4 × 4 cm 2 ) (Figure ).…”

Solar photo-oxidation of recalcitrant industrial wastewater: a review

“…Particle size is critical in photocatalytic processes because it defines the specific surface area of a catalyst, which is directly connected to its efficiency. Numerous commonly produced catalysts have been studied in an aqueous environment for photocatalytic degradation of different chemical molecules (Rafaely et al 2021;Zhang et al 2021).…”
