Engineering Zr‐Metal Organic Framework‐Based Binary Composite Using Facile In Situ Strategy for Photocatalytic Degradation of Multiple Dyes: Synergistic Effect and Mechanistic Insight

ABSTRACT Although metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have promising photocatalytic properties such as high surface area and customisable pore architectures, their practical applicability is frequently hampered by the rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, which reduces degradation efficiency. To overcome this constraint, several approaches to integrating MOFs with light‐responsive semiconductors have been investigated. This study used a Zr‐based MOF with ZnCo 2 O 4 to create a highly effective photocatalyst. The goal was to improve charge separation and photocatalytic performance. The resultant composite demonstrated exceptional degradation efficiencies of 82.27% for Bismarck Brown (BB) and 94.24%…
