A new type of composite catalyst AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH2 synergistic photocatalytic degradation of dyes

Abstract

A new type aminophthalocyanine was synthesized and loaded on MOFs material UiO-66-NH 2 by impregnation method to synthesize a new type binary composite catalyst AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 . The results showed that due to a synergistic catalytic action of AmCoPc andUiO-66-NH 2 , the synthesized AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 composite material significantly enhanced the photocatalytic degradation performance of Methylene blue(MB), The synthesized catalyst was applied to the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under visible light. Compared with AmCoPc or UiO-66-NH 2 monomer performance, the synthesized AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 composite significantly enhanced the degradation of methylene blue (MB), the best degradation efficiency was 90.32%. The reason is that the synergistic effect of AmCoPc and UiO-66-NH 2 effectively improves the light utilization efficiency. The desirable properties such as the positive catalytic activity of the central ion and the high specific surface area of the composites accelerate charge transport and reduce charge recombination. • AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 composites exhibited good visible light degradation of MB. • Thesynergistic effect of AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of the composites. • The catalyst of AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 maintains structural stability after 5 cycles. A new type aminophthalocyanine was synthesized and loaded on MOFs material UiO-66-NH 2 by impregnation method to synthesize a new type binary composite catalyst AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 . It was systematically characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N 2 adsorption desorption. The synthesized catalyst was applied to the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under visible light. Compared with AmCoPc or UiO-66-NH 2 monomer performance, the synthesized AmCoPc/UiO-66-NH 2 composite significantly enhanced the degradation of methylene blue (MB), the best degradation efficiency was 90.32%. The reason is that the synergistic effect of AmCoPc and UiO-66-NH 2 effectively improves the light utilization efficiency. The desirable properties such as the positive catalytic activity of the central ion and the high specific surface area of the composites accelerate charge transport and reduce charge recombination.
