Abstract
With the increasing environmental impact of organic dyes in water, a novel zinc-based metal–organic framework (MOF), [Zn(bdc)(bpb)]n (referred to as 1), was presented in this study, and its photocatalytic degradation performance of organic dyes was investigated. The MOF exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B (Rh B) and methyl orange (MO) under visible light, achieving degradation efficiencies of 94.3% and 96.3% within 45 min, respectively. Additionally, MOF 1 demonstrated remarkable reusability, maintaining high degradation efficiency (> 82%) after three cycles. Mechanistic studies revealed the synergistic role of superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and photogenerated holes in the photocatalytic process. These findings highlight the potential of 1 as an efficient and sustainable photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.
