A micron-sized Co-MOF sheet to activate peroxymonosulfate for efficient organic pollutant degradation

Abstract

A Co-MOF with a 2D morphology (BUC-92) was prepared, which exhibited outstanding rhodamine B (RhB) degradation performance via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. RhB was degraded completely within 10 min in the presence of 0.2 g L⁻¹ BUC-92 and 0.2 mM PMS, much higher than that using our previously reported MOF BUC-67 (54.4%) under the same conditions, whose composition was similar to that of BUC-92. A related mechanism was proposed. A fixed bed reactor was built to further evaluate the potential application of BUC-92.
