A floating photocatalytic fabric integrated with a AgI/UiO-66-NH heterojunction as a facile strategy for wastewater treatment.

With an increased need of wastewater treatment, application of photocatalysts has drawn growing research attention as an advanced water remediation strategy. Herein, a floating photocatalytic fabric in a woven construction was developed for removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) in water. For an efficient photocatalytic reaction, AgI nanoparticles were grown on the surface of UiO-66-NH crystals in a layered structure, forming a heterojunction system on a cotton yarn, and this was woven with polypropylene yarn.
