Abstract
Photocatalysis is being actively investigated as a potential technology in utilizing processes of wastewater based on polyhedral metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs). Herein we tried to employ a porous NbO-type Cu(II)-based PMOF (1) with a rigid multicarboxylate ligand to photocatalytic degrade the methyl violet (MV) and Rhodamine B (RhB). The accelerated photocatalytic degradation of MV is revealed by the result that the degradation efficiency of MV in the 1 process reached almost 100% within 100min as compared to only 55% under the identical experimental conditions for the RhB process. The findings of this work highlighted the great potential application of PMOFs as photocatalysts and elucidated a new opportunity for dyes remediation of contaminated water.
