Fast and Facile Synthesis of Cobalt-Doped ZIF-8 and Fe₃O₄/MCC/Cobalt-Doped ZIF-8 for the Photodegradation of Organic Dyes under Visible Light.

ABSTRACT: Co-doped ZIF-8 as a water-stable visible light photocatalyst was prepared by using a one-pot, fast, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method. The band structure of ZIF-8 was tuned through the incorporation of different percentages of cobalt to attain an optimal band gap (E _g) that enables the activation of ZIF-8 under visible light and minimizes the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. A magnetic composite of Co-doped ZIF-8 was also synthesized to facilitate catalyst recycling and reusability through the application of an external magnetic field. Surface modification of magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was used to reduce the level of agglomeration. The photocatalytic activities of Co-doped ZIF-
