Abstract
As a potential Fenton catalyst, Fe-based organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) severely limit their application in practical heavy pollution due to their slow cycling rate. In this work, a novel photocatalyst (NH2-MIL101(Fe, Cu)/WO3) was synthesized using a two-step hydrothermal method. Research on photocatalytic activity revealed that NH2-MIL101(Fe, Cu)/WO3, when combined with H2O2, exhibits higher degradation efficiency compared than pure NH2-MIL101(Fe, Cu) or WO3 alone, achieving up to 90 % degradation of levofloxacin (LEV) under visible light irradiation. In addition, the effects of hydrogen peroxide dosage, pH and other factors on degradation performance were studied, and the results demonstrated good stability even after multiple cycles. This excellent photocatalytic performance is attributed to the formation of heterogeneous structures as well as the doping of copper ions. This not only inhibits the electron-hole recombination, but also improves the redox capacity of the catalyst accelerating the regeneration of Fe3+. This work offers a way to enhance the photo-Fenton activity of Fe-MOF-based catalysts.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
