Preparation of Mn₂O₃/MIL-100(Fe) composite and its mechanism for enhancing the photocatalytic removal of rhodamine B in water.

ABSTRACT: In this study, Mn₂O₃/MIL-100(Fe) composite was successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal method and applied for photocatalytic removal of rhodamine B (RhB) in water. The physical and chemical properties of the synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, UV-visible, and BET analyses. Experimental results showed a great enhancement in the photocatalytic ability of the Mn₂O₃/MIL-100(Fe) composite as compared to individual Mn₂O₃ or MIL-100(Fe) under visible light and persulfate activation. The affecting factors such as pH, photocatalyst dose, RhB concentration, and Na₂S₂O₈ concentration were investigated to find out the best conditions for efficient photocatalysis. By conductin
