Issue Date: | 14-Jul-2020 | Source: | Chemical science, 14 July 2020, v. 11, no. 26, p. 6670-6681 | Abstract: | The development of wide-spectrum responsive photocatalysts for efficient formaldehyde (HCHO) removal is highly desired yet remains a great challenge. Here we successfully converted zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), one of the most well-studied metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), from routine ultraviolet-driven to novel broad-spectrum-driven photocatalyst via a facile thermal treatment. The isocyanate groups (-N=C=O) formed in the thermally treated ZIF-8 (ZIF-8-T) is crucial in enabling the superior photocatalytic performance in formaldehyde degradation. Specifically, the best-performing ZIF-8-T sample showed around 2.1 and 9.4 times the HCHO adsorption amount and the solar photocatalytic degradation rate, respectively, of pristine ZIF-8. In addition, ZIF-8-T exhibited visible light (lambda >= 400 nm) photocatalytic HCHO degradation performance, photo-converting 72% and nearly 100% of 20 ppm and 10 ppm HCHO within 1 hour, respectively. This work affords new insights and knowledge that inspire and inform the design and development of MOF-based photocatalysts with broad-spectrum responses for efficient air purification operations. | Publisher: | Royal Society of Chemistry | Journal: | Chemical science | ISSN: | 2041-6520 | EISSN: | 2041-6539 | DOI: | 10.1039/d0sc01397h | Rights: | This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2020 This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attibution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence (https://Creative Commons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/) The following publication Wang, T.
