Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Two functional metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), [Zn<bold>·</bold>L]<bold>·</bold>[⁺H₂N(CH₃)₂]₂(DMF)_0.5(H₂O)₃ (<bold>1</bold>) and [Cu₂L(H₂O)₂]<bold>·</bold><italic>x</italic>G (G = solvent molecule) (<bold>2</bold>) [H₄L = bis(3, 5‐dicarboxypheny1)terephthalamide] were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Their photoresponses in the UV region make them promising candidates for photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light irradation. We studied the photocatalytic activities of the two MOFs and polyaniline (PANI) composite materials (named PANI/MOFs), which were prepared by loading the PANI on the surface of MOFs. The results indicate that PANI/MOFs composite materials exbibit excellent photostabilities and higher photocatalytic activities than the pure MOFs photocatalysts for degradation/removal of organic pollutants from wastewaters.</p> </abstract>
