Abstract

Metal Organic Framework (MOF) is a material that serves as a photocatalyst for decomposing methylene blue pollutant. MOF can be constructed using several kinds of synthetic methods. This study aims to determine the alternative efficient and eco-friendly synthesis method of isonicotinic acid-modulated chromium perylene 3,4,9,10-tetracharboxylate MOF (Cr-PTC-HIna) using solvothermal, hydrothermal, sonochemical, and mechanochemical methods. FTIR analysis revealed that Cr-PTC-HIna was successfully fabricated only by solvothermal, hydrothermal, and sonochemical methods, yielding 40.68%, 44.27%, and 46.50%. Cr-PTC-HIna-ST, Cr-PTC-HIna-HT, and Cr-PTC-HIna-SC have band gap energies of 2.02, 2.02, and 1.98 eV, respectively. Cr-PTC-HIna-HT and Cr-PTC-HIna-SC with irregular shapes form agglomerations. Cr-PTC-HIna-SC had the highest surface area, pore volume, and pore size of 92.76 m2.g−1, 0.3947cm3.g−1, and 142.74 nm, respectively. Cr-PTC-HIna-SC has the highest percentage of methylene blue decolorization through adsorption of 61.843% and photocatalytic degradation of 25.635%. Sonochemical and hydrothermal showed potential as more eco-friendly methods than solvothermal in synthesizing Cr-PTC-HIna MOF. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

Methylene blue is widely used in the textile industry and is difficult to degrade naturally because of its heterocyclic aromatic structure. One technique that can be used to degrade methylene blue is through a photocatalytic process using ZnO nanoparticles. This study aims to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles using Lidah mertua extract (Sansevieria trifasciata) as a capping agent by the sol-gel method, and determine the characteristics and stability of ZnO nanoparticles in methylene blue photodegradation. The synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles begins with drying Lidah mertua, grinding it, and then extracting it using distilled water. Furthermore, the extract was reacted with Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O 0.15 M at pH 8. The extract was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and the ZnO nanoparticles were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) DRS, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Lidah mertua extract has OH (hydroxyl), CN, CH, and C=C functional groups. The obtained ZnO nanoparticles have a crystal size of 19.324 nm. The crystalline phase is hexagonal; the morphology is spherical, with a particle size of 79.153 nm and a band gap energy of 3.21 eV. ZnO nanoparticles exhibited a methylene blue decolorization of 98.50% through 43.41% by adsorption and 55.09% by photocatalytic mechanism. ZnO nanoparticles showed good stability for a three-cycle reaction. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

Methylene blue pollutants can be treated by photocatalytic methods using metal oxide-based semiconductor materials and metal organic framework (MOF). These two materials are often coupled into a composite to improve their physicochemical properties and catalytic activity. This research focuses on the synthesis of composites based on Cr-PTC MOF, ZnO, and Fe3O4 by the sonochemical method. The obtained composites were characterized and tested for catalytic activity in methylene blue pollutant degradation in an aqueous system under acidic conditions (pH = 5). Our investigation shows that the Cr-PTC@Fe3O4 composite possesses the lowest band gap energy of 1.86 eV and achieves the highest photocatalytic activity in methylene blue degradation at solution pH = 5, with a percent degradation of 84.36%. The sonochemical incorporation of Fe3O4 and Cr-PTC MOF is able to fabricate materials in a short time with better photocatalytic activity in degrading methylene blue than the single materials.

Abstract

As an adsorbent material, Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) provides several advantages, such as large surface area and pore volume, as well as stability in aqueous systems both in acidic, basic, and neutral conditions. The research successfully made a metal organic framework (MOF) from chromium and perylene that was modulated by isonicotinic acid. This was done using three different methods: hydrothermal (Cr-PTC-HIna-HT), solvothermal (Cr-PTC-HIna-ST), and sonochemical (Cr-PTC-HIna-SC). The Cr-PTC-HIna-SC showed the greatest Pb2+ ion adsorption capacity. The optimum adsorption of Pb2+ ions occurred at 150 ppm Pb2+ ion concentration, pH 5, 90 minutes of contact time, and an adsorption capacity of 149.95 mg/g at 35 °C. The dominant adsorption isotherm model is the Langmuir isotherm model with R2 = 0.9867 and follows the pseudo-second-order. The selectivity test showed that Cr-PTC-HIna-SC MOF could adsorb more Cd2+ ions than Pb2+ ions, with 250 mg/g being the best amount.

Abstract

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet morphology possess unique surface characteristics, making them highly favourable for photocatalytic applications. This study synthesised Cu²⁺-based MOF nanosheets using a modified three-layer method. This approach is relatively simple, energy-efficient, and qualifies as a green synthesis method. The MOFs were prepared from copper(II) nitrate trihydrate (Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O) as the metal precursor and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H₂BDC) as the organic linker, aiming to evaluate their photocatalytic activity for methylene blue degradation. The resulting Cu-BDC nanosheets displayed characteristic FTIR absorption bands at 1501 and 1547 cm⁻¹ corresponding to symmetric and asymmetric C=O stretching, 1394 cm⁻¹ for C–O stretching, and peaks at 751 and 569 cm⁻¹ associated with Cu–O vibrations. The XRD analysis revealed four sharp peaks at 2θ values of 8.2°, 10.2°, 16.1°, and 34.1°, indicating good crystallinity with a calculated crystallite size of 22.03 nm, and the bandgap energy is 3.89 eV. Cu-BDC nanosheets exhibit a thin sheet morphology with elemental compositions of carbon 73.08%, oxygen 11.19%, and copper 15.73%. Cu-BDC nanosheets exhibit optimal degradation activity at pH 13, with an optimal catalyst dose of 5 mg and an initial dye concentration of 20 ppm, achieving a degradation capacity of 98.62 mg/g after 120 minutes of reaction.

Abstract

Disposal of synthetic dye waste, including methylene blue, has been increasing in recent years. The photocatalytic method is an effective approach for degrading dyes, using Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts and light as the energy source. This study aims to synthesize Cu-PTC MOF as a photocatalyst and evaluate its performance in degrading methylene blue dye. Cu-PTC was synthesized using Cu(NO3)2.3H2O and perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) via a solvothermal method. The resulting MOF was characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet–Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Cu-PTC exhibits a bandgap energy of 1.72 eV and characteristic functional groups at wavenumbers 1689 cm-1 (C=O), 1590 cm-1 and 1360 cm-1 (-COO), 3450 cm-1 (O-H), and 738 cm-1 and 654 cm-1 (Cu-O). The Cu-PTC MOF has a crystallinity degree of 85.35%, a crystal size of 35.33 nm, and a rod-like surface morphology. Under visible light irradiation, it achieves an optimum degradation efficiency of 71.45%, with an adsorption capacity of 73.28 mg/g for methylene blue dye at a concentration of 50 ppm, using 25 mg of Cu-PTC MOF at pH of 7 over a period of 60 minutes.
