The BiOI/NH2-MIL-125(Ti) composite photocatalyst with excellent photocatalytic performance was prepared by the solvothermal method. For the BiOI/NH2-MIL-125(Ti) (BNMT) system, the contents of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) in BNMT-4, BNMT-5, BNMT-7, BNMT-9, and BNMT-10 were 4 wt %, 5 wt %, 7 wt %, 9 wt %, and 10 wt %, respectively. XRD, XPS, SEM, and TEM characterizations indicated that BiOI/NH2-MIL-125(Ti) was successfully prepared. Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra photoelectrochemical analysis indicated that BNMT-9 can make the specific surface area and photo absorption region larger than BiOI. In addition, the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers was improved, and the recombination efficiency was reduced. The degradation percentages of Rhodamine B (RhB) and p-chlorophenol (P-CP) reached 99% and 90% over BNMT-9 under visible light irradiation. Additionally, the catalysts had high stability. The results of the active spices trapping experiments test indicated that h+was the main active species. The possible degradation mechanism was proposed.Keywords:photocatalysis;BiOI;NH2-MIL-125(Ti);organic pollutants

Co-doped NH2-MIL-125(Ti) catalysts [Co/NH2-MIL-125(Ti)] are developed for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 upon visible-light irradiation. Compared with NH2-MIL-125(Ti), Co/NH2-MIL-125(Ti) exhibits a significantly enhanced activity in CO2 reduction, due to the fact that the doping of Co nanoparticles onto NH2-MIL-125(Ti) can promote the visible-light harvesting and electron transfer. In addition, when benzylic alcohols as electron donors, instead of triethanolamine (TEOA) which is often used as a sacrificial agent, are added into the reaction system, Co/NH2-MIL-125(Ti) can simultaneously catalyze CO2 reduction to formic acid (HCOOH) and the selective oxidation of the benzylic alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes, making the proposed process more economical and environment-friendly.

This paper reports the application of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) modified carbon nitride C v -C 3 N 4 with carbon vacancies in the removal of NO. We performed a series of characterizations of the complex and compared various ratios with the individual components. The results of UV spectrum analysis show that the composite's range of light absorption expanded due to the modification of Ti metal–organic framework. Furthermore, the results of photocurrent and electrical impedance indicate the compound has a better ability to generate and transfer electrons . The increase in the compound's NO removal efficiency (up to 63%) indicates that MOF has a positive effect on C v -C 3 N 4 modification—a good method for photocatalysis . Moreover, the compound can promote photocatalysis in a favorable direction.

It is a challenge to achieve efficient photocatalytic activity of pure MOFs. Herein, the defective NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) with adjustable linker vacancy level was successfully created by thermal treatment. The band gaps of samples decreased and the more Ti-O clusters on the surface of the samples can be achieved as the time of thermal treatment increased from 0 to 500 min, both of which facilitated the photocatalytic activity for the reduction of Cr(VI). Moreover, the ligands from the surface to the inside of the samples were successively decarboxylated, resulting in the declined specific surface area and the increased proportion of mesoporous and the defect level. The moderate defect level in NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) can be obtained as the time of thermal treatment was 300 min, which facilitated the separation of photogenerated charges, contributing to the highest photocatalytic activity for reduction of Cr(VI), which was 9.2 times than that of the initial MOFs. However, the excessive linker vacancy defect level in NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) may result in the seriously affected crystal structure and the retarded separation of photogenerated charges.

The development of high-efficiency photocatalysts for water splitting to hydrogen (H 2 ) is crucial for alleviating energy crisis and environmental problems. In this study, a novel type-II ternary heterojunction photocatalyst, CDs/NH 2 -MIL-125 (Ti)/Cu 2 O, was fabricated through the integration of NH 2 -MIL-125 (Ti) with Cu 2 O and carbon dots (CDs), exhibited excellent photocatalytic H 2 production rate of 12817.1 μmol/g/h with apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 17.13 % under visible light irradiation. Characterization revealed a uniform and dense structural integration with a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 275.9 m 2 g −1 and a suitable energy band gap of 2.18 eV. Furthermore, the heterostructures promoted efficient photo-generated carrier separation and enhanced reduction capabilities . Notably, CDs, serving as cocatalysts or electron acceptors, improved visible light utilization and electron migration, significantly boosting H 2 production. Insights from electron spin resonance (ESR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations supported the migration mechanisms of electrons. This work presents a significant advance in photocatalytic technology for sustainable energy by designing high-performance CDs-modified heterojunction photocatalysts.

The pollutants present in wastewater can cause structural damage to evaporators, thereby reducing their evaporation efficiency and hindering the application of solar-driven water evaporation technologies. Here, the TiO 2 -based evaporator (CPM-Air) with highly efficient photodegradation and solar-powered water evaporation performance for simultaneous freshwater production and decontamination was prepared by pyrolysis NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) grown on the surface of Carbon Felt (CF). The evaporation rate of CPM-Air evaporator reached 2.21 kg m -2 h −1 under 1.0 kW/m 2 , and high solar-vapor conversion efficiency of 102.20 %. Meanwhile, the Anatase TiO 2 obtained by carbonized NH 2 -MIL-125 (Ti) has more active sites for removal pollutants. CF as the catalytic promoter to accelerate electron transport, and improve the photogenerated electron-hole separation efficiency. The photothermal-photocatalytic synergy removal efficiency of high concentration (50 mg/L) CIP was 2 times higher than photocatalytic only. In addition, the CPM-Air evaporator has high water evaporation rate in different harsh environments, the 99.9 % of metal ions removal and excellent salt resistance. More importantly, the growth experiments on soybean indicated that the products of photothermal-photocatalytic synergy degradation CIP of CPM-Air evaporator was non-biotoxic. This study provides valuable insights into the potential of photothermal-photocatalytic synergy for sustainable water production.

Engineering photocatalyst crystal facets and constructing heterojunctions are effective strategies to improve photocatalytic activity. The amino-modified titanium-based metal–organic framework (MOF) NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (NM) has drawn extensive attention as a photocatalyst by virtue of its high specific surface area, abundant pore structure, and narrow bandgap. However, its catalytic activity is hindered by fast electron-hole recombination and limited light absorption. This study synthesizes NM with engineered crystal facets and Co 3 O 4 @NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (C-NM) composites with varying Co 3 O 4 loadings using a facile hydrothermal method. The impact of heterojunctions and facet design on photocatalytic CO 2 reduction under visible light is also studied. Results show that the C-NM, with exposed {111} facets and optimal Co 3 O 4 loading, demonstrates superior photocatalytic CO and CH 4 production rates of 21.64 μmol h −1 g −1 and 3.99 μmol h −1 g −1 , 2.1 and 1.6 times higher than those of NM {001} , respectively. Experimental characterization and density functional theory (DFT) analyses attribute the improved photocatalytic activity to several mechanisms. First, crystal facet modulation can optimize the active sites and specific surface area of the photocatalysts. Second, by loading the narrow-bandgap Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles, bandgap of the C-NM photocatalyst is further reduced, thereby enhancing the absorption and utilization of visible light. Finally, the NM/Co 3 O 4 heterostructure minimizes electron-hole recombination, significantly boosting CO 2 reduction efficiency.

Visible-light-active MR/NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) homojunction was successfully synthesized via post-synthetic modification of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti). A chromophore group (–MR) similar to the structure of methyl red, was introduced to partially replace the –NH 2 group. Using pure NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) and MR-MIL-125(Ti) as control samples, the possible structural and optical changes were carefully studied. It was found that the lattice structure remained unchanged, while the specific surface area and band gap were in the order of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) > MR/NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) > MR-MIL-125(Ti). Despite of these, MR/NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) exhibited highest photocurrent response and lowest charge transfer resistance, which were associated with optimal photocatalytic performance. For the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI), the estimated rate constant on MR/NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) was ca. 9 times and 3 times relative to that on NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) and MR-MIL-125(Ti), respectively. Besides, 4.6 times rate enhancement can also be observed on the homojunction relative to physical mixture (MR/NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)-PM). The boosted photocatalytic performance may be ascribed to promoted separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The operating factors was optimized at acidic pH (2.0), lower catalyst dosage (0.1 g/L) and appropriate concentration of coexisting organics (2.0 mM) within the tested range. Furthermore, good stability both in photocatalytic performance and structure were also observed after 5 cyclic runs. Thus, this study report a facile way for the construction of visible-light-active MOFs, and provided a stable photocatalytic candidate for the disposal of Cr(VI)-containing wastewaters.

In this work, the hybrid material NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-NO 2 was synthesized by grafting an amino-functionalized titanium-based metal–organic framework (NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)) with 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine-nitro (TpPa-NO 2 ) moieties. The resulting composite material exhibited remarkable removal efficiency owing to the synergistic effects derived from the combination of the NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) and TpPa-NO 2 components. The material demonstrated excellent stability and recyclability, making it a promising candidate for the treatment of wastewater containing rhodamine-B (Rhd-B). Some characterization techniques were employed to elucidate the structural features and surface morphology of the hybrid material. The adsorption capacity of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-NO 2 for Rhd-B dye was evaluated, and the results revealed an exceptional removal efficiency of 99.96 % and a high adsorption capacity of 25.54 mg/g, highlighting the superior adsorption performance of the material. The adsorption process was found to follow Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics, indicating that chemisorption is the predominant mechanism governing the uptake of Rhd-B dye onto NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-NO 2 .

A novel porous nanosized humidity-sensing material of amine-functionalized titanium metal organic framework (MOF), NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti), was investigated. NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) nanoparticles with high phase purity and good physicochemical property were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The nanosized MOF was characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The average size of the MOF nanoparticles is around 300 nm. Then NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) humidity sensor was fabricated by coating the nanosized materials on interdigitated electrodes. The humidity sensor based on NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) shows good linearity of RH (11–95 % RH), as well as fast response and recovery time. The RH detecting range is from 11 to 95 % RH at 100 Hz. The response and recovery time are about 45 and 50 s, respectively. Moreover, the sensing mechanism was discussed by complex impedance analysis in detail. These results indicate the potential application of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) in humidity sensors.

The conversion of nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) into NH3by photocatalysis under ambient conditions has been considered an environmentally friendly strategy. However, developing effective catalysts for N2fixation is still challenging. Herein, we report a bimetallic JH Fe, Co/TiO2derived from NH2-MIL-125(Ti) by the fast Joule heating (FJH) method for visible–light–driven catalytic N2fixation. It was found that the photocatalytic N2reduction efficiency of bimetallic FC@TiO2-JH was improved, enabling an NH3yield rate of 110.14 µmol g−1h−1without any sacrificial agents. Furthermore, the rate was higher than those of Fe@TiO2-JH and Co@TiO2-JH, suggesting that the synergistic effect between Fe and Co broke the electronic equilibrium and increased the center of its d-band, enhancing electronic feedback to the antibonding π* orbitals of N2while weakening the bonding energy of N≡N. Meanwhile, the rate was about 2.75 times higher than that of FC@TiO2-TF, which was calcined in a tube furnace. It is assumed that FJH might lead to the formation of lattice defects, leading to localized charge deficiency, enhanced carrier separation, and transport. Thus, doping of Fe and Co synergistically interacted with the defects produced from FJH, facilitating the photocatalytic reduction process. As detected, it had a greater ability to separate hole–electron pairs and transferred electrons to adsorbed N2at faster rates. Our work demonstrates a prospective strategy for designing bimetallic catalysts derived from NH2-MIL-125(Ti) for N2fixation.
