MIL-53(Fe) as a highly efficient bifunctional photocatalyst for the simultaneous reduction of Cr(VI) and oxidation of dyes

A simple strategy for fabrication of Pd@MIL-100(Fe) nanocomposite as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst for the treatment of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs)

“…3(C)), the binding energies of 712.1 and 726.0 eV are characteristic of Fe(III) in MIL-100(Fe) [23]. The peak separation, namely, ∆ = 2p 1/2 -2p 3/2 = 14.1 eV, which is very similar to those reported for α-Fe 2 O 3 [36].…”

“…Their unique properties such as structural flexibility and large specific surface area have led to the successful application of MOFs in magnetism, adsorption, sensor devices, drug release, and catalysis [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. As the historic work made by García et al in 2006, more and more attention has been paid to exploring the MOF materials as a new type of photocatalysts [21][22][23][24]. To further improve the photocatalytic performances of MOFs, some researchers focus their efforts on the introduction of functional entities into such materials [25,26].…”

M@MIL-100(Fe) (M = Au, Pd, Pt) nanocomposites fabricated by a facile photodeposition process: Efficient visible-light photocatalysts for redox reactions in water

“…Figure S2 (in the ESM) shows the photocatalytic degradation of MO under various experimental conditions. It can be observed that the degradation of MO hardly occurs in the absence of light or a photocatalyst (curves a and b, respectively Based on previous studies [11], the degradation of dyes can be attributed to a pseudo-first-order reaction with a simplified Langmuir-Hinshelwood model when C 0 is very small: ln(C 0 /C t ) = kt, where k is the apparent first-order rate constant. As displayed in Fig.…”

“…Because of their inherent structural characteristics, such as large surface areas and wellordered porous structures, these materials are used as gas adsorbents, catalyst supports, and catalysts as well as agents for separation and drug delivery [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Currently, a new burgeoning direction in the field of MOFs is their use as photocatalysts [10][11][12]. Since the first report of photocatalytic activity in MOF-5, MOFs have been increasingly used as novel photocatalysts Nano Res.…”

“…[84] For the single pollutant system, the photocatalytic efficiency of MG, RhB, and Cr VI is about 25 %, 44 %, and 26 %, respectively,a fter 6h visible-light irradiation. In the binary solution of Cr VI /MG and Cr VI /RhB, the photodegradation ratio of MG andR hB is near 100 %a nd 83 %, respectively,a nd the reduction ratio of Cr VI is 70 %a nd 66 %, respectively.Asynergistic effecti sf ound between thep hotocatalytic reduction and oxidation processes.…”
