MIL-101-NH₂(Fe)-Coated Nylon Microfibers for Immobilized Photocatalysts in RhB and Cr(VI) Removal.

ABSTRACT: MIL-101-NH₂(Fe) is one of the effective photocatalytic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) working under visible light. However, its powder-type form inhibits reusability in practical applications. In this study, we immobilized MIL-101-NH₂(Fe) on a polymeric microfiber mesh to improve reusability while minimizing the loss of catalytic performance. To overcome the lack of surface functionality of the nylon fibers, an atomic layer deposition Al₂O₃ layer and NH₂-BDC linker were introduced to facilitate uniform coating of the MOF on the fiber surface. The reactions of the metal precursor to the nylon substrate and NH₂-BDC ligand of the MOF allow chemical bonding from the core to the shell of the entire hybrid catalytic materials. Th
