Considerable attentions are currently paid to water pollution, which seriously threats human health. Semiconductor catalysts with step-like (S-scheme) heterojunction are often used for degrading organic pollutants in water bodies due to their high carrier separation efficiency, high redox capacity, and broad light absorption capacity. In this paper, a novel S-scheme N-doped g-C 3 N 4 /NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) heterojunction composite is synthesized for photodegradation of organic pollutants. The structural measurements indicate that the NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) nanoparticles are intimately anchored on the surface of porous N-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets . The experimental characterizations as well as the DFT theoretical calculation for samples demonstrate that the N-doped g-C 3 N 4 /NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) composites not only bear larger specific surface area providing abundant reactive sites, but also improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers during photodegradation. In addition, the degradation rate of RhB solution catalyzed by 25 wt% N-doped g-C 3 N 4 /NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (25 wt% NCM) attains the highest degradation rate (96.4%) under visible light irradiation. Moreover, the mineralization of RhB solution and intermediates produced in the degradation process are analyzed by total organic carbon (TOC) and high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) tests, respectively. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) with free radical capture measurements show that the photodegradation of RhB is mainly ascribed to the superoxide radicals (·O 2 - ) and hole (h + ). This study provides an effective method to construct S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts and apply them to wastewater treatment.

In the present study, a novel photocatalyst, CQDs@MIL-125(Ti) (CQDs = carbon quantum dots), was prepared via a solvothermal procedure. The photocatalytic properties were tested by the degradation of tetracycline (TC) with a 250 W Xe lamp (λ > 420 nm). Compared with pure MIL-125(Ti), the 10 wt% CQDs@MIL-125(Ti) photocatalyst can significantly improve the degradation process of TC, and the degradation efficiency can reach 90% within 4 h. The enhancement in the photocatalytic performance is due to the CQDs, which can promote the absorption of visible light and also efficiently accelerate the separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. We have also demonstrated that superoxide radicals (·O2−) and holes (h+) play crucial roles in the photocatalytic degradation of TC through capture experiments. The current work provides a new idea for constructing high-efficiency photocatalysts based on MIL-125(Ti).

It is a great challenge to develop photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants in the aqueous environment, especially those with excellent catalytic performance under visible light conditions. In this work, using graphene oxide (GO) as an electron shuttle agent and carrier, a hybrid of ZIF-8/NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) and GO (ZIF-8/NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)/GO) was prepared by a simple two-step solvothermal method. The morphology, structure, and combination of the synthesized catalysts were studied. The results showed that graphene oxide and ZIF-8 formed an in situ load on NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti). The construction of hybrid materials significantly improved the catalytic activity of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) in the visible light range. The degradation activity of the synthesized catalyst was further tested with reactive red dye. The results showed that the catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic removal efficiency for active red, with a degradation rate of 99.8% within 2 h. The prepared hybrid materials have good application prospects in the field of organic pollutant treatment in water. Graphical Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have received increasing attention for conducting miscellaneous photocatalytic reactions. Amorphous TiO 2 , despite the lack of visible light activity, can be a platform for integrating with a Ti-based MOF NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) during hydrothermal process. Herein, amorphous TiO 2 microspheres are synthesized to enhance the activity of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) by integration. The morphology, porosity, and activity of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)/amorphous TiO 2 microspheres are systematically investigated by various methods. The photocatalyst NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)/amorphous TiO 2 exhibits enhanced conversions, more than five times that of pristine NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti), for the selective oxidation of benzylamine. A series of optical and electrochemical characterizations are performed to clarify the mechanism for the photocatalytic selective oxidation of benzyl amines. Specifically, for NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)/amorphous TiO 2 , visible light absorption is from NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti); and faster electron transfer to molecular oxygen is due to amorphous TiO 2 . This work shows that integrating MOFs with metal oxides can be crucial in enhancing visible light photocatalysis .

Hydrogen production by photocatalysis under visible light irradiation is a pivotal means of obtaining hydrogen. In this study, Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S was studied to have optimal hydrogen production performance among different zinc-cadmium ratios of Zn x Cd 1-x S, and a series of Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/MIL-125-NH 2 (Ti) composites with different MIL-125-NH 2 (Ti) contents were prepared by simple ultrasonic method. When the percentage of addition of MIL-125-NH 2 (Ti) was 40%, the optimum hydrogen production rate was 92,498 μmol h −1 g −1 , and the photocatalytic activity was still stable even after 16 h. The mechanism investigations demonstrated that this excellent activity was owing to enhanced visible light absorption intensity, extremely efficient electron transfer and proper conduction band position. This work provides new insights into highly efficient and stable photocatalyst in hydrogen production from water without noble metal doping.

In recent years, the ultrasonic removal of organic pollutants has attracted a great deal of attention. In this study, a novel MOF-based sonocatalyst with bimetallic center was formed by doping Zr atoms into the MX@MIL-125(Ti), aiming to improve the ultrasonic removal performance of organic pollutants. The successfully prepared MX@MIL-125(Ti/Zr) showed a porous structure with abundant grooves and channels (average pore size of 21.8 nm, and specific surface area of 36.910 m 2 /g), and significantly had a higher quantum yield (13.24 %) than MIL-125(Ti) and MX@MIL-125(Ti), thereby producing more OH and O 2 − free radicals under ultrasonic irradiation. The experimental results showed that the MX@MIL-125(Ti/Zr) had good sonocatalytic activity and could effectively deal with small-molecule dyes and macro-molecule microplastics under ultrasonic conditions, where the removal efficiency achieved approximately 95 % for Rhodamine B (within 12 min) and approximately 90 % for micro-polyethylene (within 4 h in the presence of persulfate). In addition, a possible degradation-dominant mechanism was proposed to explain the MX@MIL-125(Ti/Zr)-mediated sonocatalytic removal, where the existence of Zr atoms could help sono-excited electrons generate and transfer onto the conductive MXene, thereby facilitating more charge carriers to create reactive free radicals. Therefore, the study would provide a green and feasible approach for the industrial treatment of organic pollutants in water bodies.

Because of their desired features, including very specific surface areas and designable framework architecture together with their possibility to be functionalized, Metal Framework (MOF) is a promising platform for supporting varied materials in respect of catalytic applications in water treatment. In this work, a novel visible-light-responsive photocatalyst that comprised BiVO 4 together with MIL-125(Ti), was synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal approach. The characterization of as-obtained samples as performed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectra. Rhodamine B was selected being a target for the evaluation of the photocatalytic function of as-developed photocatalyst. The photocatalytic reaction parameters, for example, the content of BiVO 4 as well as initial concentration of Rhodamine B was researched. The composite photocatalyst possessing Bi:Ti molar ratio of 3:2 brought to light the fact that the greatest photocatalytic activity had the ability to degrade 92% of Rhodamine B in 180 min. In addition to that, the BiVO 4 /MIL-125(Ti) composite could keep its photocatalytic activity during the recycling test. The phenomenon of disintegration of the photo-generated charges in the BiVO 4 /MIL-125(Ti) composite was brought to discussion as well.

Metal-organic frameworks-based hybrids with desirable components, structures, and properties have been proven to be promising functional materials for photocatalysis and energy conversion applications. Herein, we proposed and prepared ZnSe sensitized hierarchical TiO 2 nanosheets encapsulated MIL-125(Ti) hollow nanodisks with sandwich-like structure (MIL-125(Ti)@TiO 2 \ZnSe HNDs) through a successive solvothermal and selenylation reaction route using the as-prepared MIL-125(Ti) nanodisks as precursor. In the ternary MIL-125(Ti)@TiO 2 \ZnSe HNDs hybrid, TiO 2 nanosheets were transformed from MIL-125(Ti) and in situ grown on both sides of the MIL-125(Ti) shell, forming sandwich-like hollow nanodisks, and the ratio of MIL-125(Ti)/TiO 2 can be tuned by changing the solvothermal time. The ternary hybrids possess the advantages of enhanced incident light utilization and abundant accessible active sites originating from bimodal pore-size distribution and hollow sandwich-like heterostructure, which can effectively promote CO 2 photoreduction reaction. Especially, the formed multi-channel charge transfer routes in the ternary heterojunctions contribute to the charge transfer/separation and extend the lifespan of charge-separated state, thus boosting CO 2 photoreduction performance. The CO (513.1 μmol g −1 h −1 ) and CH 4 (45.1 μmol g −1 h −1 ) evolution rates over the optimized ternary hybrid were greatly enhanced compared with the single-component and binary hybrid photocatalysts.

In this work, a molecularly imprinted photoelectrochemical (MIP-PEC) sensor based on a novel PEC composite of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and TiO 2 (NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)–TiO 2 ) was established for the ultrasensitive and selective detection of oxytetracycline (OTC). This is the first attempt of applying MOFs in the construction of MIP-PEC sensor. The NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)–TiO 2 was synthesized by a simple one-step solvothermal method and modified onto the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode as the photosensitive layer. Subsequently, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was modified as recognition element by electropolymerization . The NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti)–TiO 2 showed an enhanced photocurrent response due to stronger light absorption capacity and matched energy band. Furthermore, MIP greatly improved the selectivity and sensitivity of the constructed PEC sensor. The photocurrent response of the MIP-PEC sensor was reduced after OTC recognition because the specific binding of OTC to the imprinted cavities blocked the electron transfer of the electrode. Under optimal experimental conditions, the MIP-PEC sensor exhibited a wide detection range from 0.1 nM to 10 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 60 pM, as well as certain reproducibility, stability and good applicability in real samples. The proposed sensor provides ideas for the application of MOFs in the construction of PEC sensors and will offer an alternative method for the detection of other pollutants in the field of food safety.

This study presents the design of a composite photocatalyst that harnesses the combined effects of internal and external heterojunctions for enhanced performance. The internal heterojunction is achieved by annealing NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (NM) under an argon atmosphere, forming an N-doped C-coated anatase/rutile heterostructure (A-NM). By controlling the annealing temperature, the A-NM prepared at 650 °C (A 650 -NM) demonstrates superior photocatalytic CO 2 reduction capability, with an outstanding CO production rate of 0.25 μmol h −1 g −1 under a light intensity of 0.1 W cm −2 . An external heterojunction is then created by combining NM and A 650 -NM in an optimized ratio. At an optimal composite ratio of 9:1 (NM: A 650 -NM), the CO production rate reached 6.3 μmol h −1 g −1 , which is 3.5 times higher than NM and 25 times higher than A 650 -NM. Characterization and DFT analyses reveal that the improved performance stems from the internal heterojunction within A 650 -NM's TiO 2 crystal phases and the external heterojunction between NM and A 650 -NM, which enhanced charge separation and carrier mobility. The N-doped carbon layer further boosts charge carrier transfer efficiency. This work introduces a novel Metal–Organic Framework (MOF)-based photocatalyst for CO 2 reduction, offering valuable theoretical insights and practical strategies for optimizing its performance.

The low electron–hole separation in the photoanode generally restricts the visible light response of photocatalytic fuel cell (PFCs). In this study, 5% NH2-MIL-125/g-C3N4/Bi2O3/Ti photoanode was synthesized and assembled with a PFC with Cu cathode to degrade rhodamine B and generate electricity. With visible light irritation, the maximum photocurrent density, maximum power density, and degradation rate of the PFC were 0.59 mA cm−2, 29.88 μW cm−2, and 97.48% (1 h), respectively. The major active species in the PFC were h+, ˙O2−, and ˙OH. The good performance of the PFC was ascribed to the formation of a double Z-type heterojunction in the 5% NH2-MIL-125/g-C3N4/Bi2O3/Ti photoanode so that the photoelectrons of NH2-MIL-125 and Bi2O3 directly combine with the photoholes of g-C3N4, making the photoholes of NH2-MIL-125 and Bi2O3 and the photoelectrons of g-C3N4 directly or indirectly involved in the RhB degradation process and generating electricity. Thus, the separation rate of the e−–h+ pairs in the photoanode and the capability of the PFC are greatly improved.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have received increasing attention due to their unprecedented potential for energy-efficient gas separation. Compared with other MOF materials (like ZIF), fabrication and microstructural manipulation of high-performance Ti-MOF-based membranes, although being very attractive due to their excellent chemical and thermal stability, remained relatively less investigated due to the limitations of available titanium sources and heating modes. In this study, different Ti sources (TPOT, TiS 2 , and MXene) and heating modes (conventional heating, multi-mode microwave heating, and single-mode microwave heating) were examined for the preparation of NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes showing diverse microstructures and gas separation performances. The present work revealed that for the first time, MXene , the new two-dimensional Ti carbide , could be used as Ti source for synthesizing MOF membranes. The best performing NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes, which were obtained with TiS 2 as the metal source under single-mode microwave heating, exhibited the highest H 2 /CO 2 selectivity (ca. 17.2) as well as considerable H 2 permeance (1.7 × 10 −7 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 ), owing to an enhanced non-thermal effect of single-mode microwave heating and balanced dissolution rate of TiS 2 .
