One-step fabrication of ZnO/C nanocomposite via carbonization of MOF-۵ for efficient photocatalytic activity

ZnO/C nanocomposite was prepared via a one-step carbonization of metal-organic framework (MOF-۵) under nitrogen gas at ۵۸۰°C. photodegradation of methylene blue dye were evaluated under sunlight. Various characterization techniques including XRD, TEM were used to confirm the synthesis of ZnO/carbon nanocomposite. Methylene blue degradation of about ۹۸% was achieved by ZnO/carbon nanocomposite. This research showed that carbonization of MOF-۵ under nitrogen gas can be an effective and sustainable method for producing ZnO/C nanocomposite with improved properties that can be used in various applications, including in the fields of various energy and environment application.
