In this study, the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol using an efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable method was targeted. For this purpose, Pd/MIL68(Al) catalyst was prepared with 2% metal loading using a simple and conventional wet impregnation method. MIL68(Al), an MOF recently attracting attention due to its superior properties, was synthesised using an efficient and environmentally friendly method as support material in the first step of nanocatalyst synthesis. The prepared Pd/MIL68(Al) catalyst was tested in the reaction of the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the presence of NaBH₄ by considering different parameters. In the study where the structure and surface morphology of the Pd/MIL68(Al) catalyst were elucidated using characterisation techniques such as ICP-OES, XRD, SEM, SEM/EDX, TEM, FTIR and XPS, it was determined that Pd(0) nanoparticles were well dispersed on the MIL68(Al) support, with an average particle size of 3.25 ± 0.22 nm. As a result of the interpretation of the data obtained from the study, the TOFinitial value for 4-NP was determined as 43.42 min⁻¹. In the studies carried out to determine the reusability rate of Pd/MIL68(Al) nanocatalyst, it was determined that Pd/MIL68(Al) nanocatalyst exhibited excellent catalytic efficiency and stability (92%) even after five catalytic cycles. Both the simple preparation process, catalytic efficiency, and high reusability rate of the Pd/MIL68(Al) nanocatalyst are the grounds for the evaluation of Pd/MIL68(Al) nanocatalyst as an important alternative for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and wastewater treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":753,"journal":{"name":"Research on Chemical Intermediates","volume":"51 10","pages":"5537 - 5562"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145037318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, an SrTiO₃·Al/CoOOH photocatalyst was synthesized via a high-temperature solid-state method followed by photodeposition of CoOOH. A composite photocatalytic membrane was fabricated by immobilizing SrTiO₃·Al/CoOOH onto a polysulfone (PSF)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) substrate through a phase inversion process. The material’s crystallinity, elemental composition, optical properties, and charge transfer behavior were thoroughly characterized using techniques including X-ray diffraction, scanning/transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV–visible absorption spectroscopy (UV–Vis), Mott–Schottky (M-S) curves, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Characterization results demonstrate that Al³⁺ doping transforms the SrTiO₃ morphology from polyhedral particles to cubic structures and induces a positive shift of 0.44 and 0.43 eV in valence band maximum and conduction band minimum, respectively. Crucially, Al³⁺ doping synergistically enhances photogenerated charge carrier separation on SrTiO₃ when coupled with the CoOOH cocatalyst. All prepared membranes achieved a 100% rejection rate for Congo red. Notably, the water flux of the SrTiO₃·Al/CoOOH-PSF/PVDF membrane is 3.7 times that of the PSF/PVDF membrane. Furthermore, after 150 min of operation, the SrTiO₃·Al/CoOOH-PSF/PVDF membrane maintained 81.3% of its initial flux, compared to only 41.7% for the PSF/PVDF membrane. The optimized SrTiO₃·Al/CoOOH-PSF/PVDF membrane exhibited exceptional photocatalytic performance and stability, achieving 93.6% degradation of Congo red within the first reaction cycle (150 min) and 82.7% in the fourth cycle (600 min) under simulated sunlight. Additionally, the membrane also exhibited effective degradation performance toward antibiotic pollutants.
