Photocatalytic degradation of aquatic organic pollutants with Zn- and Zr-based metalorganic frameworks: ZIF-8 and UiO-66

Water treatment has been an essential issue with the increasing population over 40 years. Researchers center on the major organic pollutants, such as dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceutical products. Photocatalytic degradation is one of the promising methods for aquatic organic pollutant treatment. Over the years, scientists have been working on developments for photocatalysts to enhance their pollutant degradation performances.
