Abstract

A Fe₂O₃/MIL-53(Fe) composite (89% MIL-53(Fe), 11% Fe₂O₃) and Fe₂O₃ were prepared by partial and complete thermal decomposition of MIL-53(Fe). The catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, FTIR, UV-vis absorbance spectroscopy, SEM, EDS and TG analysis. The derived Fe₂O₃/MIL-53(Fe) composite was found to be effective for visible light photocatalytic degradation.
