CNTs/Fe-BTC composite materials were synthesized with the one-step solvothermal method. MWCNTs and SWCNTs were incorporated in situ during synthesis. The composite materials were characterized by different analytical techniques and used in the CO-photocatalytic reduction to value-added products and clean fuels.

Composite materials based on titania nanoparticles (TiO NPs) and three metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) called ((Fe (III) (OH) (1,4-BDC)), MILs (Materials Institute Lavoisier)), (FeO(HO)OH(BTC)), and (iron-benzenetricarboxylate) with different percentages of TiO NPs (0.5, 1, and 2.5% wt.

The FeBTC metal-organic framework (MOF) incorporated with magnetite is proposed as a novel material to solve water contamination with last generation pollutants. The material was synthesized by in situ solvothermal methods, and FeO nanoparticles were added during FeBTC MOF synthesis and used in drug adsorption. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy characterized the materials, with N-physisorption at 77 K.

A Metal-Organic Framework (MOF), iron-benzenetricarboxylate (Fe(BTC)), has been studied for the adsorptive removal of azo-dye Orange II from aqueous solutions, where the effect of various parameters was tested and isotherm and kinetic models were suggested. The adsorption capacities of Fe(BTC) were much higher than those of an activated carbon. The experimental data can be best described by the Langmuir isotherm model (R² > 0.
