Converting carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals is seen as a promising strategy for slowing global warming while enriching energy supplies. Photocatalysts derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) can not only overcome the problem of poor stability of MOFs, but also inherit the advantages of MOFs to some extent. Herein, carbon doped In 2 O 3 (C-In 2 O 3 ) hollow tubular is synthesized by calcination of MIL-68(In) as sacrificial template. Then C-In 2 O 3 and g-C 3 N 4 are hydrothermal to obtain C-In 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction . The unique hollow tubular structure, carbon doping and type-II heterojunction of C-In 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 expand the light absorption capacity and promote the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, thus significantly improve the activity of photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 . Among them, C-In 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 -5 shows the highest CO 2 reduction activity towards CO (153.42 μmol/g/h) and CH 4 (110.31 μmol/g/h).

Inorganic semiconductors prepared from MOFs as sacrificial precursors are promising photocatalytic materials. In this work, the direct Z -scheme MoS 2 /NH 2 -MIL-68(In)-derived In 2 S 3 (MoS 2 /In 2 S 3 ) heterojunction composites have been synthesized by sulfidation treatment of MoS 2 /NH 2 -MIL-68(In) (MoS 2 /NM68) composites. Morphological and crystal structural results confirmed that MoS 2 was uniformly dispersed in In 2 S 3 . According to the reduction for Cr(VI) experimental results, the photocatalytic performance of MoS 2 /In 2 S 3 heterojunction composite under visible light irradiation is significantly better than that of pristine MoS 2 and In 2 S 3 , respectively. In addition, the photocatalytic activities of the MoS 2 /In 2 S 3 (II) at different pH and high concentrations of Cr(VI) were also investigated. This paper presents a novel approach to the construction of heterojunction photocatalytic materials using MOFs as sacrificial precursors.

In this study, magnetic Cu and Ni bimetallic particles embedded carbon sheets, namely as C@Cu–Ni, was derived via calcining a mixture of Cu-MOFs and Ni-MOFs (mass ratio = 4:6) under N 2 protection and served as a catalyst for the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) by peroxymonosulfate (PMS). The results showed that more than 98.5% of 2,4,6-TCP (10 mg L −1 ) was rapidly decomposed at initial pH = 5, PMS = 1 mM and catalyst dosage = 0.1 g L −1 within 30 min, accompanied by 42.47% removal of total organic carbon (TOC). This fully confirmed that C@Cu–Ni possessed excellent catalytic performance for PMS activation . The radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigation testified that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) included SO 4 •− , • OH, O 2 •− radicals and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), which were responsible for the rapid degradation of 2,4,6-TCP. Among them, O 2 •− and 1 O 2 played a decisive role. Cyclic voltammograms (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed that C@Cu–Ni material possessed superior electrical conductivity and electron transfer , improving its catalytic activity . What is more, C@Cu–Ni displayed excellent stability and could be consecutively used for five times without any decline of catalytic performance. The main intermediates of the 2,4,6-TCP degradation were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) and possible pathways of 2,4,6-TCP degradation were further proposed. The extraordinary stability and superior catalytic activity of C@Cu–Ni coupled with its easy separation from wastewater due to magnetism suggest that the newly synthesized material may offer a promising alternative approach to efficiently degrade organic pollutants by PMS.

A rational design of high-performance catalysts with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation and arsenic adsorption capacities for the removal of p -arsanilic acid ( p -ASA) is in high demand but remains a significant challenge. Herein, vacancies-rich metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) were constructed by room-temperature co-precipitation procedure, and the magnetic CoFe encapsulated in N -doped carbon nanotubes (CoFe- N -CNTs) were prepared using MOFs template by an annealing process under a nitrogen atmosphere. The synthesis conditions of CoFe- N -CNTs were optimized by tuning Fe/Co ratio and carbonization temperature. The CoFe- N -CNTs/PMS system showed favorable removal performance, achieving complete degradation of 46 μM p -ASA within 3 min and a total arsenic removal efficiency of 98% within 30 min at 0.1 g/L catalyst and 400 μM PMS. The degradation rate ( k obs ) and total arsenic removal efficiency towards p -ASA by CoFe- N -CNTs/PMS system were 6.7 and 2.7 times of those in the MOFs without vacancies-derived catalyst/PMS system, respectively. CoFe- N -CNTs/PMS system exhibited robust and efficient performance over a broad range of pH (4.5–9.0) and in different water matrices. Scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) results demonstrated that non-radical singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), sulfate radicals (SO 4 − ), hydroxyl radicals ( OH), and superoxide (O 2 − ) were involved in p -ASA decomposition. Electron transfer and direct oxidative transfer process (DOTP) also contributed to p -ASA degradation. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) analysis indicated that the arsenic moiety was cleaved from p -ASA in the form of As(III) and then rapidly oxidized to As(V). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicated the removal of inorganic arsenic followed the mechanism of the inner-sphere complex. This study highlights the in-situ synthesis of CoFe- N -CNTs with outstanding activities for catalytic degradation and arsenic removal of organoarsenicals.

Full-scale water electrolysis for hydrogen production represents a critical component of clean energy systems. This study introduces a novel MOFs-derived catalyst that achieves full water electrolysis performance comparable to commercial catalysts but at a significantly reduced cost, offering a promising alternative for hydrogen production via water electrolysis. The hydrothermal method was employed to incorporate citric acid into the ZIF8@ZIF67 metal-organic framework. Following carbonization, the resulting catalyst effectively exposed cobalt active sites and markedly enhanced the specific surface area. A thorough investigation was conducted into the structural features and electrocatalytic properties of the catalyst. The catalyst demonstrated superior oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities, enabling highly efficient water electrolysis. At a current density of 10 mA cm⁻², the overpotential for OER was as low as 361 mV, while the HER overpotential was 168 mV. During overall water electrolysis, the catalyst achieved a voltage of 1.637 V, which is comparable to that of commercial catalysts (1.625 V).

The efficient elimination of recalcitrant synthetic dyes from complex waters remains a pressing challenge for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Herein, an Fe-MOFs-derives@BC composite was fabricated by anchoring MIL-101(Fe) crystals onto rice-straw biochar followed by high-temperature carbonization. XRD, SEM and XPS confirm the formation of a crystal–amorphous hybrid in which residual MIL-101(Fe) nanocrystallites are embedded within a conductive carbon matrix rich in oxygen vacancies. The composite rapidly activates PMS via a synergistic Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox cycle and carbon-facilitated electron transfer, generating SO₄• − , •OH, and 1 O₂ to driving Rhodamine B (RhB) and Malachite Green (MG) degradation. Under optimal conditions (0.1 g L −1 catalyst, 0.1 g L −1 PMS), >90% RhB and MG were removed within 15 min across deionised, groundwater, lake and river matrices; even in the most complex river water, 90% removal is achieved in 10 min. When Fe-MOFs-derives@BC is immobilised in a poly (vinylidene fluoride) membrane, a continuous-flow micro-reactor maintains >90% removal over 600 min with negligible flux decline and undetectable Fe leaching. This hybrid radical/non-radical pathway, broad matrix tolerance and long-term membrane stability position Fe MOFs-derives@BC/PMS as a robust, scalable platform for advanced wastewater treatment.
