Luminescent iron phthalocyanine organic polymer nanosheets with space-separated dual-active sites for the detection and photocatalytic reduction of Cr(Ⅵ) from wastewater
Cr(Ⅵ) residues in livestock and poultry wastewater are a rising concern for human health and biotic environments. For the removal of Cr(Ⅵ), its simultaneous reduction and adsorption represents a sustainable and efficient strategy. Herein, iron nodes on covalently bonded two-dimensional phthalocyanine organic polymer (PcOP-Fe) nanosheets with space-separated dual-active sites are developed for the simultaneous detection and removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater. In the FeN 4 structure of PcOP-Fe nanosheets, Fe acts as an electron capture center, effectively facilitating the accumulation of photogenerated electrons and transferring them to Cr(VI), thereby achieving its photocatalytic reduction. Meanwhile, pyrrolic nitrogen provides excellent adsorption sites, enabling the adsorption of Cr(III) or Cr(0). Fe accumulates the photogenerated electrons from pyrrole N and transfer them to Cr(Ⅵ). The formation of N-Cr(Ⅲ) bonds causes a space-separation between Cr(Ⅵ) and Cr(III). In addition, PcOP-Fe can be used for a Cr(Ⅵ) detection agent. The photoluminescence intensity decreases linearly with increasing Cr(Ⅵ) concentration from 80 μM to 2 mM, with a limit of detection of 0.18 μM. The PcOP-Fe nanosheets exhibit good Cr(Ⅵ) detection and reduction performance in livestock and poultry wastewater, suggesting their suitability for practical sensing applications. Thus, the PcOP-Fe nanosheets with space-separated dual-active sites are promising for the simultaneous detection and removal of Cr(Ⅵ) in water treatment processes.
