Green Synthesis of Cr-PTC-HIna Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Its Application in Methylene Blue Photocatalytic Degradation

Metal Organic Framework (MOF) is a material that serves as photocatalyst for decomposing methylene blue pollutant. MOF can be constructed using several kinds of synthetic methods. This study aims to determine the alternative efficient and eco-friendly synthesis method isonicotinic acid-modulated chromium perylene 3,4,9,10-tetracharboxylate (Cr-PTC-HIna) solvothermal, hydrothermal, sonochemical, mechanochemical FTIR analysis revealed Cr-PTC-HIna was successfully fabricated only by sonochemical methods, yielding 40.68%, 44.27%, 46.50%. Cr-PTC-HIna-ST, Cr-PTC-HIna-HT, Cr-PTC-HIna-SC have band gap energies 2.02, 1.98 eV, respectively. Cr-PTC-HIna-HT with irregular shapes form agglomerations. had highest surface area, pore volume, size 92.76 m2.g−1, 0.3947cm3.g−1, 142.74 nm, has percentage decolorization through adsorption 61.843% photocatalytic degradation 25.635%. Sonochemical hydrothermal showed potential more methods than solvothermal in synthesizing MOF.
