NH₂-MIL-88B (Fe _α In_1-α ) mixed-MOFs designed for enhancing photocatalytic Cr(vi) reduction and tetracycline elimination.

ABSTRACT: Aiming at solving the issue of wastewater purification, this work synthesized NH₂-MIL-88B (Fe _α In_1-α ) photocatalysts by a simple one-pot method, which was employed for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(vi) and oxidation of TC-HCl. Compared with traditional NH₂-MIL-88B (Fe) photocatalysts, NH₂-MIL-88B (Fe_0.6In_0.4) displayed excellent photocatalytic performance; the photocatalytic redox rate for Cr(vi) and TC-HCl reached 86.83% and 72.05%, respectively. The good photocatalytic performance might be attributed to the metal-to-metal charge transition (MMCT) between Fe-O clusters and In-O clusters formed by doping In(iii) into NH₂-MIL-88B (Fe), which provides effective active sites for the photoc
