Assembling UiO-66@TiO2 nanocomposites for efficient photocatalytic degradation of dimethyl sulfide

Zun Man et al.

Summary: The photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) can be greatly improved by coupling with UiO-66 to purify odor pollutants containing reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs). UiO-66@TiO2 nanocomposites with different blending ratios were synthesized, and the U1T3 composites showed the highest photocatalytic activity compared to pristine UiO-66 and TiO2. The photocatalytic activity was found to be enhanced with increased relative humidity up to 60%, but excessive water at 90% relative humidity weakened the photocatalytic effects. UiO-66@TiO2 nanocomposites with enhanced photocatalytic performance could promote the practical applications of MOF-based photocatalysts for the degradation of odor pollutants.
