Abstract:
Nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) based organic frameworks were synthesized on the synthetic zeolite (5A and 13X), natural zeolite mineral clinoptilolite, -Alumina. Initially the zeolite surface was modified or seeded with metal organic framework (MOF). MOF-zeolite composite materials were characterized with XRD, SEM and ATR-IR to understand whether surface processes was achieved successfully or not. Additionally, band gap energies were evaluated to understand these composite materials were used as photocatalyst. Surface modification with APTES was not affect surface of the zeolites. In spite of that seeding created a layer on the surface of zeolite. Nickel based organic framework was coated onto the surface of modified 5A surface. Hydrothermal ZIF8 (ZIF8(1)) and solvothermal ZIF8 (ZIF8(2)) were synthesized successfully as MOF crystals. Besides ZIF8(2) was coated onto the surface of natural zeolite. Additionally, ZIF8/CuBTC sample were synthesized, seeded and coated onto the surface of natural zeolite. Band gap energies of the MOFs and composite materials were calculated with Tauc plot. Results showed that UV light can be used as light source for photocatalytic reactions of these photocatalysts. Also increasing photocatalyst amount increased dye degredation under UV light.
