Two new uncommon 3D cobalt-based metal organic frameworks: Temperature induced syntheses and enhanced photocatalytic properties against aromatic dyes

Terephthalate and trimesate metal–organic frameworks of Mn, Co, and Ni: exploring photostability by spectroscopy

“… 12 Owing to visible light response and excellent redox behavior, these MOF photocatalysts are being explored for CO 2 reduction, solar water splitting, photoreduction, photochemical transformations of small molecules, and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. 13–19 One of the requirements for an efficient photocatalyst is its long-term photostability. Since the metal–ligand interactions in MOFs are coordinative, they are subjected to break under UV/visible irradiations.…”

Photoelectroactive metal–organic frameworks

“…One paramount factor involved in photoelectroactive MOFs for photocatalysis and photovoltaics is how to design and prepare semiconductive materials with appropriate band gaps suitable for solar-driven activities (Scheme 1). MOF-based photocatalytic reactions span from H 2 evolution, [51][52][53][54][55] CO 2 reduction, [56][57][58][59][60] N 2 xation [61][62][63] to photodegradation of gaseous pollutants, [64][65][66][67][68] photodegradation of aqueous pollutants, [69][70][71][72][73][74] and various types of organic transformations, [75][76][77][78] etc. MOFbased photovoltaics have been studied with the integration of perovskites, [79][80][81][82] dyes, 83,84 organic polymers, 85,86 and quantum dots.…”

Bifunctional Self-Penetrating Co(II)-Based 3D MOF for High-Performance Environmental and Energy Storage Applications

“…Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) have been exploited in a wide range of research sectors due to their varied network topologies and potential applications such as magnetism, 1−3 gas adsorption, 4,5 separation, 6,7 luminescence, 8−11 drug delivery, 12 adsorption, 13−15 photocatalysis, 16,17 heterogeneous catalysis, 18,19 and so on. The key parameter used to identify the MOFs is the number of used organic linkers and inorganic secondary building units (metal nodes).…”
