Ultrahigh antipsychotics selective accumulation and efficient photocatalytic degradation using a novel 2D BiOIO-based molecularly imprinted photocatalyst.

Adsorption-assisted photocatalytic degradation of pollutants is an effective method to improve degradation efficiency. However, most adsorptive photocatalysts are not selective and cannot efficiently remove low-concentration targets in complex systems, which limit their practical application. Therefore, a novel molecularly imprinted photocatalyst (MI-BiOIO) with high selectivity and adsorption capacity was prepared using two-dimensional BiOIO nanosheet as the matrix.

A novel hierarchical porous ZIF-8 for effective removal of three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs simultaneously from environment.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) adsorbents have significant advantages to remove contaminates. While their microporous structure is not conducive to entry of larger molecules, making it difficult to simultaneously utilize the inner and outer surfaces of the pores to achieve higher adsorption capacity. In this work, the hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide was employed as soft template to prepare a novel hierarchical porous ZIF-8 (HP-ZIF-8) in water.
