Synthesis of a UiO-66/g-C3N4 composite using terephthalic acid obtained from waste plastic for the photocatalytic degradation of the chemical warfare agent simulant, methyl paraoxon.


ABSTRACT: In our study, Zr-based UiO-66 (Zr) was synthesized using terephthalic acid obtained from waste plastic. Thereafter, UiO-66/g-C3N4 composites were prepared by the solvothermal method, and their photocatalytic activity in the photodegradation of the chemical warfare agent simulant, dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), was evaluated. The as-synthesized UiO-66/g-C3N4 exhibited a high surface area (1440 m2 g-1) and a high capillary volume (1.49 cm3 g-1). The UiO-66/g-C3N4 samples absorbed a visible light band with bandgap energies of 2.13-2.88 eV. The as-synthesized UiO-66/g-C3N4 composites exhibited highly efficient degradation of DMNP with a short half-life (
