An Fe(ii) metal–organic framework as a visible responsive photo-Fenton catalyst for the degradation of organophosphates

Abstract

An Fe(II) metal–organic framework with micro-sized particles was synthesized. This material could serve as a visible responsive photo-Fenton catalyst to induce the mineralization of a series of organophosphates, and exhibited high activity, high stability and wide pH tolerance. The degradation mechanism of organophosphates in this photocatalytic system was illustrated by different methods.
