Highly efficient Fenton and enzyme-mimetic activities of NH₂-MIL-88B(Fe) metal organic framework for methylene blue degradation.

ABSTRACT: Here, we show that NH₂-MIL-88B(Fe) can be used as a peroxidase-like catalyst for Fenton-like degradation of methylene blue (MB) in water. The iron-based NH₂-MIL-88B(Fe) metal organic framework (MOF) was synthesized by a facile and rapid microwave heating method. It was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method. The NH₂-MIL-88B(Fe) MOF possesses intrinsic oxidase-like and peroxidase-like activities. The reaction parameters that affect MB degradation were investigated, including the solution pH, NH₂-MIL-88B(Fe) MOF and H₂O₂ concentrations, and temperature. The results show that the NH₂-MIL-88B(Fe) MOF exhibi
