Hybrid Metal-Organic-Framework/Inorganic Nanocatalyst toward Highly Efficient Discoloration of Organic Dyes in Aqueous Medium.
Inorganic Chemistry 2018 November 6
Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) represent a unique class of solids with superior adsorption, mass transport, and catalytic properties. In this study, a facile and novel approach was developed for the generation of hybrid Cu-NMOF/Ce-doped-Mg-Al-LDH nanocatalyst through in situ self-assembly and solvothermal synthesis of a 2D Cu-NMOF, [Cu2 (μ-OH)(μ4 -btc)(phen)2 ] n ·5 nH2 O {H3 btc, trimesic acid; phen, 1,10-phenanthroline}, on a cerium-doped Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (Ce-doped-Mg-Al-LDH) matrix. Self-assembly between Cu-NMOF nanocrystals and exfoliated LDH led to their nanoscale mixing and prevented the formation of aggregated Cu-NMOF nanoparticles. In the resulting hybrid nanostructure, Cu-NMOF nanocrystals (∼10-20 nm particle size) are anchored uniformly on a Ce-doped-Mg-Al-LDH's surface, possessing a dimension of several hundred nanometers. Catalytic activity of Cu-NMOF/Ce-doped-Mg-Al-LDH and Cu-NMOF was evaluated under ambient conditions in the reductive degradation (discoloration) of aqueous solutions of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP, model substrate) and a series of commercial organic dyes by applying sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The Cu-NMOF/Ce-doped-Mg-Al-LDH nanocatalyst exhibited an outstanding catalytic activity toward degradation of 4-NP, with kapp (rate constant) of 0.03 and a catalyst TOF (turnover frequency) up to 7.1 × 103 h-1 . Full and very quick discoloration of organic dyes {rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), Congo red (CR), methyl orange (MO), and rhodamine 6G (R6G)} was also achieved with TOF values of up to 1.4 × 105 /h. A superior activity of the hybrid nanocatalyst over Cu-NMOF can be regarded as a synergic effect among Cu-NMOF and Ce-doped-Mg-Al-LDH components, while the Ce-doped-Mg-Al-LDH carrier acts as a cocatalyst. The hybrid nanocatalyst can easily be recovered and reused successfully for the five consecutive reaction runs with the same catalytic performance. This study also shows that NMOFs can be easily incorporated onto conventional catalyst supports, resulting in hybrid nanocatalysts with a highly uniform structural architecture, controlled chemical composition, and excellent catalytic function.
