Degradation of diclofenac in water under LED irradiation using combined g-CN/NH-MIL-125 photocatalysts.

This study reports the photocatalytic degradation of diclofenac by hybrid materials prepared by combination of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) and titanium-metal organic framework (NH-MIL-125), in different mass proportions (MOF:CN of 25:75, 50:50 and 75:25). The hybrid materials were fully characterized, and their properties compared to those of the individual components, whose presence was confirmed by XRD. The porous structure was the result of the highly microporous character of the MOF and the non-porous one of g-CN.
