In this research, a conjugated Pc-MIL-88B (Fe)
nanoplatform was constructed via a condensation process between modified zinc
phthalocyanine and MIL-88B (Fe) for the removal of organic pollutants. The
as-prepared material was fully characterized by TEM, XPS, ICP, FTIR, UV-Vis, N
2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, etc. The results indicate that Pc-MIL-88B (Fe)
preserved the topological structure of MIL-88B (Fe), and the micropores of framework
could effectively prevent the aggregation of Pc in water. Meanwhile, the conjugated
Pc-MIL-88B (Fe) basically maintains the singlet oxygen quantum yield of Pc, and
behaves a much higher photocurrent intensity compared to NH
2-MIL-88B
(Fe). Additionally, the photosensitive activity and reusability of Pc-MIL-88B
(Fe) were evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution
under visible light irradiation, and the degradation mechanism was also
investigated in detail.
