Abstract
MIL-53(Fe) is a novel photocatalytic material that has been developed over the past decade; however, significant efforts are still required to fully optimize its photocatalytic performance in order to meet the requirements of practical applications. In this paper, we investigated the effects of size and crystallinity on the photocatalytic performance of MIL-53(Fe) and its composites x-MIL-53(Fe)/g-C3N4 (x-MIL-Fe/CN). During the hydrothermal synthesis process, the control over particle size was achieved by adjusting the amount of acetic acid (HAc). Ball milling was utilized to manipulate both the size and crystallinity of MIL-53(Fe). Photocatalytic experiments demonstrated that MIL-53(Fe) and 15-MIL-Fe/CN, characterized by the smallest particle sizes and great crystallinity, exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. This enhancement in photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the reduced band gap and lower recombination rate of photogenerated carriers. Notably, the hydrogen evolution rate for 15-MIL-Fe/CN reached up to 4950 μmol·g−1·h−1, but MIL-53(Fe) achieved a 98% degradation of methyl orange within 60 min.
期刊介绍:
All new compounds should be satisfactorily identified and proof of their structure given according to generally accepted standards. Structural reports, such as papers exclusively dealing with synthesis and characterization, analytical techniques, or X-ray diffraction studies of metal-organic or organometallic compounds will not be considered. The editors reserve the right to refuse without peer review any manuscript that does not comply with the aims and scope of the journal. Applied Organometallic Chemistry publishes Full Papers, Reviews, Mini Reviews and Communications of scientific research in all areas of organometallic and metal-organic chemistry involving main group metals, transition metals, lanthanides and actinides. All contributions should contain an explicit application of novel compounds, for instance in materials science, nano science, catalysis, chemical vapour deposition, metal-mediated organic synthesis, polymers, bio-organometallics, metallo-therapy, metallo-diagnostics and medicine. Reviews of books covering aspects of the fields of focus are also published.
