Abstract

Abstract: Metal-organic framework MIL-101(Fe) was deposited successfully on g-C3 N4 templates under solvothermal treatment. The results of XRD, FT-IR, and SEM measurements revealed the growth of MIL-101(Fe) crystals on g-C3 N4 to fabricate the g-C3 N4 /MIL-101(Fe) hybrid. The photocatalytic ability of g-C3 N4 /MIL-101(Fe) was examined through the photodegradation performance of paracetamol in an aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. Among the samples, 0.5CN-M, standing for 0.5 g of g-C3 N4 used for fabrication of g-C3 N4 /MIL-101(Fe), showed the best photocatalytic ability when degraded about 34% of paracetamol in water. The effective photocatalytic performance of g-C3 N4 /MIL-101(Fe) than that of MIL-101(Fe) might result from the high surface area of MIL-101(Fe) and the formation of heterojunction layer between this MOF and g-C3 N4 .
