Dye sensitized photocatalytic degradation of congo red and rhodamine B by 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid based metal organic frameworks Ni3(BTC)2.12H2O, (Ni0.8Co0.2)3(BTC)2.12H2O... by Kavitha Karuppiah, Anushree Raju, Anuradha Natarajan, Swedha Mohan, Dhinakaran Subramani, Kumaran Rajendran, Vanjinathan Mahalingam, Gopalakrishnan Arumugam, Samikannu Prabu, Kung-Yuh Chiang, Vasanthi Rajaraman

“…Their structures were thoroughly characterized through various techniques, including PXRD, FE-SEM, EDX, HRTEM, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, TGA, and BET analysis. Despite their band gap energies exceeding 3 eV, which limits direct visible light absorption, the photocatalytic degradation was successful, suggesting a dye-sensitized mechanism. …”
