Abstract

The development of efficient photocatalysts for water purification is vital to mitigate the global clean water shortage. In this study, a heterostructured photocatalyst was synthesized by incorporating Ti3C2-MXene Quantum Dots (MQDs) into an iron-based metal-organic framework (NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) MOF) to enhance photocatalytic activity. The prepared composites were systematically characterized by XRD, FTIR, TEM, FE-SEM, UV–Vis DRS, BET, XPS, and PL analyses. Compared with the pristine MOF, the results revealed markedly enhanced visible-light absorption and significantly reduced charge-carrier recombination, confirming the successful integration of MQDs into the MOF heterostructure. The degradation of methylene…
