Synthesis of a 3D Flower-Like BiOCl/Bi-MOF Heterostructure for High-Performance Removal of Rhodamine B and Tetracycline Hydrochloride.

Semiconductor materials based on bismuth metal have been extensively explored for their potential in photocatalytic applications owing to their distinctive crystal structure. Herein, we present the development of a hybrid photocatalyst, CAU-17/BiOCl, featuring a flower-like nanosheet morphology tailored for the photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants such as rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The composite material is obtained by growing thin CAU-17 layers directly onto the host flower-like BiOCl nanosheets under solvothermal conditions.

Construction of BiOCl/bismuth-based halide perovskite heterojunctions derived from the metal-organic framework CAU-17 for effective photocatalytic degradation.

The designed synthesis of an S-scheme heterojunction has possessed a great potential for improving photocatalytic wastewater treatment by demonstrating increased the photoredox capacity and improved the charge separation efficiency. Here, we introduce the fabrication of a heterojunction-based photocatalyst comprising bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) and bismuth-based halide perovskite (BHP) nanosheets, derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Our composite photocatalyst is synthesized through a one-pot solvothermal strategy, where a halogenation process is applied to a bismuth-based metal-organic framework (CAU-17) as the precursor for bismuth sourcing.

CuO/FeO/MIL-101(Fe) nanocomposite as a highly efficient and recyclable visible-light-driven catalyst for degradation of ciprofloxacin.

Nowadays, the widespread production and use of antibiotics have increased their presence in wastewater systems, posing a potential threat to the environment and human health. The development of advanced materials for treating antibiotics in wastewater has always received special attention. This study aimed to synthesize a novel CuO/FeO/MIL-101(Fe) nanocomposite and use it to degrade ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotics in an aqueous solution under visible light irradiation.
