Application of a Metal Cobalt Based on 4,6-Bis(imidazol-1-yl)isophthalicacid Metal-Organic -Framework Materials in Photocatalytic CO 2 Reduction, Antibacterial, and Dye Adsorption.

In this paper, the reported MOF ([Co(bimip)(H₂O)_0.5]·0.5H₂O) was employed in photocatalytic CO₂ reduction, antibacterial, and dye adsorption experiments. The photocatalytic activity of the MOF for CO₂ reduction was systematically investigated. The high average CO generation rate of 3421.59 μmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ after 12 h confirms the efficient photocatalytic CO₂ reduction ability of the MOF. At the same time, the MOF can completely inhibit the growth of S. aureus and C. albicans within 24 h when its concentration reaches 400 μg/mL and 500 μg/mL, respectively. The MOF has an adsorption capacity for CR. The adsorption rate was 83.42% at 60 min, and the adsorption capacity of the MOF for CR reached 500.00 mg·g⁻¹. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
