Abstract
In order to explore a green, economic, and sustainable phenol production process, a heterojunction semiconductor materials g-C3N4/Zr-Fc MOF was synthesized via an in situ synthesis method. With the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and the Fenton effect, the composite could effectively catalyze the direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol under visible light irradiation. The yield of phenol and the selectivity were 13.84% and 99.38% under the optimal conditions, respectively, and it could still maintain high photocatalytic activity after 5 photocatalytic cycles. Therefore, the designed photocatalysis-self-Fenton system has great potential in the field of the direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol.
