Abstract

Zr-fumaric based metal-organic framework (MOF) was successfully sonochemically synthesized and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic degradation of Methyl Violet 2B (MV2B) using Zr-fum MOF under UV light irradiation was investigated and showed satisfactory results. A catalytic mechanism is proposed in terms of the conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) gap and the associated light-induced transition. The results showed that the studied MOF-based photocatalyst exhibit 90% photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of the organic pollutant.
