Application of a Metal Cobalt Based on 4,6-Bis(imidazol-1-yl)isophthalicacid Metal-Organic -Framework Materials in Photocatalytic CO Reduction, Antibacterial, and Dye Adsorption.

In this paper, the reported MOF ([Co(bimip)(HO)]·0.5HO) was employed in photocatalytic CO reduction, antibacterial, and dye adsorption experiments. The photocatalytic activity of the MOF for CO reduction was systematically investigated. The high average CO generation rate of 3421.59 μmol·g·h after 12 h confirms the efficient photocatalytic CO reduction ability of the MOF. At the same time, the MOF can completely inhibit the growth of and within 24 h when its concentration reaches 400 μg/mL and 500 μg/mL, respectively. The MOF has an adsorption capacity for CR. The adsorption rate was 83.42% at 60 min, and the adsorption capacity of the MOF for CR reached 500.00 mg·g.
