Abstract

This study investigated the structural characteristics, surface morphology, and photocatalytic activity of bismuth-based metal-organic frameworks (BiBTC-ISOx) synthesized with varying ratios of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and isopropanol (ISO). X-ray diffraction confirmed the crystalline structure of the BiBTC-ISOx (x = 1, 3, 6) compounds, while FTIR spectroscopy verified the successful bonding between the ligand and the Bi3+ complex. UV-Vis spectroscopy revealed strong UV light absorption with tunable bandgaps ranging from 3.28 to 3.68 eV. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis revealed a hierarchical micro/mesoporous structure, with BiBTC-ISO6 exhibiting the highest surface area (24.968 m2/g). SEM imaging revealed a rectangular rod-like morphology, which became more elongated with increasing ISO content. The photocatalytic activity of BiBTC-ISOx was evaluated based on the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light, with BiBTC-ISO6 demonstrating the highest efficiency. Optimal conditions for RhB degradation were determined to be 0.03 g catalyst mass, 10 ppm RhB concentration, and pH of 3. Mechanistic studies revealed that superoxide radicals are the primary active species in the photocatalytic process. The BiBTC-ISO6 catalyst exhibited excellent stability and reusability over three consecutive degradation cycles, highlighting its potential for practical applications in organic dye removal.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of Ni, Co, Mn, and Ag doping on the optical and photoluminescence properties of ZnSe quantum dots (QDs). Structural analysis confirms successful dopant incorporation, with XRD revealing lattice strain-induced shifts. Optical studies show that Ni²⁺ and Co²⁺ induce blue shifts, while Mn²⁺ and Ag⁺ create redshifted emissions. Photoluminescence analysis demonstrates that Mn²⁺ doping enhances quantum efficiency to 49.52% via the 4T1 → 6A1 transition. Ag+-doped ZnSe exhibits blue-shifted emissions but suffers from defect-related non-radiative losses. CIE color coordinates validate tunable emissions, confirming potential applications in LEDs, displays, and bioimaging. These findings provide insights into dopant-induced band structure modifications, advancing the design of high-performance luminescent materials for optoelectronics.
