Abstract
- Water, the most fundamental source of life, is contaminated by various organic pollutants, especially organic dyes from the dying industry. The photocatalytic degradation of malachite green (MG) was studied using a zinc-based metal-organic framework (Zn-BTC MOF) and ZnO. Thermally decomposing Zn-MOF synthesized ZnO and its structural and optical properties were analyzed using various spectroscopic techniques. This article focuses primarily on the wavelength-dependent photoluminescence properties of Zn-MOF and ZnO materials and their role in the photocatalytic degradation of MG dye in water. Zn-MOF and ZnO photocatalysts exhibited a photodegradation efficiency of approximately 99% after 40 min of visible light exposure. Based on kinetic experiments, the degrading efficiency of these catalysts followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics with a correlation of R2 = 0.99 and a rate constant of 0.031 min−1. This manuscript is helpful to researchers working on ZnO and Zn-MOF materials for photocatalytic and environmental applications. • Photoluminescence is an important and frequently reported property of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). • This communication is primarily concerned with the luminescence properties of Zn-MOF and ZnO materials. • Zn-MOF and ZnO role in the photodegradation of recalcitrants such as malachite green (MG) in water. • These catalysts displayed photodegradation efficiency of about 95% within 40 min.
