Literature review Chapter 1 is presented in 38 pages, including general introduction of MOFs, methods of synthesizing MOFs, and application of MOFs. In MOFs applications, catalyst applications are quite new and have not been studied much in Vietnam. MOFs act as catalysts in the decomposition reactions of toxic organic substances, pigments, dyes. In order to enhance the functionality and applicability, new composite materials based on the mechanical metal frame material are of special interest. Recently, a number of composite materials based on nano MOFs and nano carbon such as nano MIL53/rGO, MIL88/GO, MIL101/rGO as well as MIL53, MIL88 and MIL101 containing Fe/CNT have been synthesized and evaluated with optical activity. High catalyst in the decomposition reaction of organic substances, organic pigments in water environment [9-11]. Therefore, the use of MOFs/GO nanocomposite photocatalytic materials to treat dyes is practical and of high scientific significance. From the overview of the research situation on MOFs materials at home and abroad, we can see that nanostructured MOFs are a new generation of MOFs material superior to conventional MOFs because of special features. such as small particle size (nm), large capillary size (nm), large surface area, large porous volume increases heat transfer, mass transfer, speed diffusion of reaction substances to centers operating with high dispersion. The process of micro-hydrothermal crystallization creates particles of small size, acting as a catalyst with redox potential. Studies aimed at reducing the time to germinate and 5 develop MOFs are also a solution to synthesize nanoparticle-sized MOFs. Chapter 2.

XRD patterns of Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B, Fe-MIL-53/GO and Fe-MIL-88B/GO The XRD patterns of Fe-MIL-53/GO, Fe-MIL-88B/GO materials appear all the same pic as those of Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B materials. However, the peak intensity at 2θ~11o characteristic of GO structure sharply decreased and almost no appearance was observed. This can be explained by the fine dispersion of Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL- 88B crystals on the surface of GO layers. The XRD patterns of Fe- BTC/GO materials synthesized by different methods appears peaks with the intensity at 2θ ~ 5.8o; 7,8o; 12o; 13.7o; 17,6o and 22,1o are corresponding to the diffraction planes (012); (104); (110) characteristic of Fe-BTC structure [125]. However, the 2θ~11o peak that characterizes GO structure plummeted and almost no occurrence. 2θ (degree) In te n si ty ( a .u ) 7 This is explained by the dispersion, and alternation of Fe-BTC material on the surface of GO layers.

The XRD pattern show that Fe-BTC/GO materials synthesized by hydrothermal - microwave (30 minutes) have a stable crystal phase structure, high crystallinity. 3.1.2. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) In Figure 3.10, TEM image of Fe-MIL-88B material shows small pseudo-Fe nanoparticles of size 5-8 nm, fastened on the surface of Fe-MIL-88B crystals. On the TEM image of Fe-MIL-88B/GO composite material, Fe nanoparticles tend to cluster to form larger particles (the size increases from 5-8 nm to 10-20 nm. ). This may be due to the interaction between Fe ions with hydroxyl and carboxylic groups in GO to form Fe complex. Fig.3.10. TEM image of GO (A), Fe-MIL-88B(B) and Fe-MIL- 88B/GO(C) 9 Fig. 3.14.

Clustered together to form large crystals of about 120-150 nm. Figure 3.14 (b) of Fe-BTC/GO-90oC material found that Fe-BTC particles are dispersed evenly on the surface layer of GO, Fe-BTC nanoparticle size is in the range of 60 - 80 nm. Some Fe-BTC particles tend to cluster in sizes between 80 and 100 nm. Fe-BTC/GOVS-30 material (Figure 3.14 c) has Fe-BTC particles of uniform size and evenly distributed over the surface of GO, the particle size is about 40-50 nm. Fe-BTC/GO materials synthesized by mechanical grinding (Figure 3.14d) have a particle size of 100-150 nm and Fe-BTC particles are unevenly dispersed on the GO layers. Thus, SEM image of Fe-BTC/GO materials synthesized by different methods show that Fe-BTC/GOVS-30 materials (synthesized by hydrothermal- microwave) have Fe- BTC is evenly dispersed on GO carriers and has a nanoparticle size of about 40 -50 nm. This is explained by the rapid germination and development of Fe-BTC crystals, so the crystallization process takes place quickly to help control the size of the crystal particle. 3.1.3.

However, Fe content depends on different synthesis methods.

N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET) Table 3.5 shows the surface area and total capillary volume, the average capillary width of materials Fe-MIL-53/GO, Fe-MIL- 88B/GO increases compared to Fe-MIL-53, Fe -MIL-88B. This is explained by the uniform distribution of Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B on the GO layers to help improve the porosity and size of Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B crystals [117]. Moreover, the crystals of Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B are dispersed on GO layers smaller than the original Fe- MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B crystals, this is explained. by the epoxy groups on the GO layers preventing the clumping and agglomeration of the crystals Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B, resulting in the formation of Fe- 11 MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B nanoparticles on the GO carrier. This also contributes to the specific surface of the material. In Table 3.5 Fe- MIL-88B/GO materials have the largest surface area (99 m2/g). Table 3.5.

Fe-BTC. Fe-BTC/GO materials have an average increase in capillary width compared to Fe-BTC samples, which is favorable for adsorption and diffusion processes. This is explained by the dispersion of Fe-BTC crystals on the GO carrier (GO has a layered structure). Fe-BTC/GO-30 material (synthesized by microwave hydrothermal method for 30 minutes) has the largest surface area and a large total capillary volume. This is explained by the fact that Fe-BTC/GO is synthesized by micro- hydrothermal method with small particle size of about 40-50 nm, 12 uniformly distributed on the GO carrier layer and stable phase structure, high crystallinity (Figure 3.6). 3.1.5. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) Fig. 3.24. FTIR spectra of Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B, Fe-MIL-53/GO and Fe-MIL-88B/GO FTIR spectrum of Fe-MIL-53/GO and Fe-MIL-88B/GO is almost identical to Fe-MIL-53 and Fe-MIL-88 except for two low-intensity oscillations occurring at 2339-2360 cm-1 relates to the saturated and unsaturated CH oscillations, showing the interaction between MIL53, MIL-88B and GO. The absorption band at the top of 759-711 cm-1 is characteristic related to the oscillation of the BTC ligands. The peaks at 750 cm-1 correspond to the C-H strain variation of benzene. High strength peaks of 624 cm-1 characterize the oscillation of the Fe - O bond [140]. T ra n sm it a n ce ( % T ) Wavenumber (cm-1) 13 Fig. 3.27.

In addition, the shift of the C1s band to higher binding energies shows the interaction of carbon in H2BDC and carbon in GO. Moreover, the increase in peak intensity of the C-C group, and the decrease of the peak intensity of the C-O groups, C=O and O-C=O of Fe-MIL-88B/GO compared to Fe-MIL-88B, showing the interaction between Fe-MIL-88B and GO in Fe-MIL-88B/GO materials.

Results of UV-vis solid analysis of Fe-BTC/GO materials Fig. 3.31. Energy gap of Fe-BTC/GO materials is synthesized by different methods The energy of the Eg region of Fe-BTC/GO material synthesized by hydrothermal-microwave method (30 minutes) is 2.2eV; FeBTC/GO synthesized by hydrothermal method is 2.4 eV; Fe- BTC/GO synthesized by mechanical grinding method is 2.48 eV which is less than the band gap energy of Fe-BTC material (2.5 -2.7 eV) [132]. The presence of the external GO carrier helps disperse the Fe-BTC crystals evenly, creating small sized particles, the GO carrier is very important to receive electrons from the conduction area of photocatalyst MOFs, minimizing recombination between electrons ( a h v )1 /2 (e V )1 /2 Temperture (oC) % w t hv (eV) 16 and h+ holes and effectively increasing catalytic activity as well as catalytic durability [129]. The results of solid UV-Vis analysis showed that Fe-BTC/GO materials synthesized by hydrothermal- microwave method (30 minutes) had the smallest value (2.2 eV), so it had the best catalytic activity. 3.2. Evaluation of photocatalytic activity of synthesized materials 3.2.1. Evaluate catalytic activity of dye decomposition RR-195 of Fe-BDC/GO catalyst 3.2.1.1. Comparison of dye decomposition activity of RR-195 dye on Fe-BDC and Fe-BDC / GO catalysts Fig. 3.33. Catalytic activity of Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B, Fe-MIL-53/ GO, Fe-MIL-88B/GO in dye decomposition RR-195 To compare the catalytic activity of synthetic catalyst systems include: Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-53/GO, Fe-MIL-88B, Fe-MIL-88B/GO during RR-195 was performed under conditions: initial RR-195 concentration was 100 mg/L; the amount of catalyst is 0.3g/L; H2O2 concentration is 136 mg/L; pH = 5.5; temperature T = 25oC and together lighting. From the results obtained, we can see that Fe-MIL-53/GO and Fe- MIL-88B/GO are much more photochemical than Fe-MIL-53 and Fe- MIL-88B. This proves the synergistic effect of Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL- Time (min) C /C o 17 88B with GO. From Figure 3.33, the catalytic activity of Fe-MIL- 88B/GO is much higher than that of Fe-MIL-53/GO. This can be explained by the higher surface area of Fe-MIL-88B/GO (99 m2/g) than that of Fe-MIL-53/GO (80 m2/g). 3.2.1.3. Study on factors affecting RR-195 dye decomposition ability of Fe-MIL-88B/GO catalyst materials Effect of pH: To investigate the effect of pH, we performed RR- 195 decomposition reaction on Fe-MIL-88B/GO composite material at different pH values. The experiments were conducted at three different pH values: 3.0; 5.5 and 8.0 under the same conditions: H2O2 (30%) 136 mg/L, catalyst content of 0.3g/L, RR-195 concentration of 100 ppm, temperature t = 25oC and lighting for 25 minutes. The results showed that, with pH = 3.0, the rate of RR-195 decomposition took place quickly, when increasing pH = 5.5, the rate of RR-195 decomposition was slower but still achieved a conversion efficiency of 98% after 25. minute (same as at pH = 3). When pH> 6 efficiency decomposition process sharply reduced. Therefore pH=5.5 is selected for the next research process. Effect of H2O2 concentration: Similar experiments were conducted at different H2O2 concentrations: 68 mg/L; 136 mg/L and 204 mg/L with the same reaction conditions. Results showed that the decomposition process RR-195 increased as the concentration of H2O2 increased. When H2O2 concentration increased from 68 to 136 mg/L after 25 minutes, process efficiency increased sharply and reached 98%. This is because the •OH radicals from H2O2 are highly generated which promotes the reaction process leading to increased speed and degradation efficiency. However, when continuing to increase the amount of H2O2 (6mL/L) in the solution, this excess 18 H2O2 will work with the •OH radical to form the HOO• reduce the efficiency of the decomposition process. 3.2.1.3. Evaluate the activity of Fe-MIL-88B/GO catalyst materials under different conditions Figure 3.37A shows that under the condition of oxidation reaction under sunlight and without catalyst, the conversion of RR-195 is negligible. In Figure 3.37B, the adsorption process takes place quickly and reaches equilibrium after 25 minutes of reaction. The adsorption efficiency of RR-195 on catalyst reaches 25%. During Fenton reaction (in the presence of catalyst, H2O2), after 25 minutes of reaction, the efficiency reached 75% (Figure 3.37C). However, in the Photo-Fenton process (in the presence of catalysts, H2O2 and lighting) the efficiency reached 98% (Figure 3.37D). From these results, we found that the Fe-MIL-88B/GO composite has a high RR- 195 decomposition efficiency. Fig. 3.37. Decomposition process RR-195 on Fe-MIL-88B/GO catalyst under different conditions Time (min) 19 3.2.1.4. Study on Fe-MIL-88B / GO catalyst durability Fig. 3.38. Stability of catalytic activity over Fe-MIL-88B/GO From Figure 3.38, it can be seen that the durability of the catalyst is relatively good, this is proved by three tests of photocatalytic activity durability of 98%, 92.39% and 91%, respectively. The decrease in decomposition efficiency may be due to the increase in the coverage of catalysts by RR-195 as well as by-products, in addition to the reduction of Fe concentration in the catalyst. Due to the filtration process is also the cause of reduced catalytic activity. The results in Figure 3.38 show that the oxidation efficiency of the Fe-MIL-88B/GO catalyst remained almost unchanged after three reuse to deplete RR-195, showing that the Fe- MIL-88B/GO is very stable and can be used for repeated decomposition of RR-195 dyes 3.2.1.5.RR-195 decomposition pathway of Fe-MIL-88B/GO catalyst The intermediate product of the decomposition process RR-195 of Fe-BTC/GO photochemical catalyst was analyzed by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry on LC-MS. shown in the image below: Figure 3.39. The intermediate product of the RR-195 decomposition reaction uses Fe-MIL-88B/GO catalyst 20 The decomposition process of RR-195 on Fe-MIL-88B/GO catalyst is carried out in 3 main steps: cutting S bonding circuit, followed by N cutting circuit and finally short-circuit hydrocarbons. 3.2.2. Evaluate the catalytic activity of dye decomposition on Fe-BTC/GO catalytic systems 3.2.2.4. Comparison of Fe-BTC/GO catalytic activity synthesized by different methods As shown in Figure 3.45, samples of Fe-BTC / GO materials synthesized by different methods (solvent heat, hydrothermal, microwave - hydrothermal, mechanical chemistry) have high catalytic activity in the reaction. decomposition reaction RY-145. Fe-BTC/GO materials synthesized by hydrothermal-microwave methods have the highest catalytic activity. This is explained by the Fe-BTC/GO material with stable structure, uniformly distributed over the surface of the GO, the particle size of about 40-50nm, a high surface area (1015 m2/g). Good for diffusion and adsorption process, so catalytic activity is high. This helps Fe to combine with carboxyl groups to create Fe(OH)2, FeO makes strong photochemical center, thereby reacting with H2O2 to create •OH more, making higher reaction efficiency. Moreover, Fe-BTC/GOVS-30 materials have a lower band energy of 2.2 eV than those of Fe-BTC/GO 90oC (2.4 eV) and Fe-BTC/GONDM (2.48 eV) conducive to absorbing visible light. 21 Figure 3.44. Evaluation of Fe-BTC/GO catalyst activity synthesized by different methods (RY-145 concentration is 100 ppm, catalyst: 0.3g/L, H2O2: 136 mg/L, pH = 6.5 ) 3.2.2.5. Study on factors affecting RY-145 decomposition on Fe- BTC / GO-30 catalyst materials Influencing factors such as pH, H2O2 concentration and catalytic stability during dye decomposition were investigated. The results show that the best condition in the decomposition process RY-145 is pH=3; H2O2 concentration is 13 mg/L. The durability of Fe- BTC/GO-30 catalysts is highly durable, almost unchanged after three uses. This result opens up the possibility of photocatalytic applications in the treatment of toxic organic substances. From the table of results comparing the photocatalytic systems on MOFs, we can see the photocatalytic systems (Fe-MIL-53/GO, Fe-MIL-88B/GO and Fe-BTC/GO) in The thesis has high activity in decomposition reaction of organic pigments. Moreover, the synthesized photocatalysts in the thesis are much more active than the published results (fewer catalysts, higher concentration of dyes, shorter processing time to achieve effective results). removal rate of organic pigments).

The results of XRD, FT-IR, XPS analysis shows that Fe-MIL-53, Fe-MIL-88B crystals can disperse and lie in the bonds of the GO layers, a new phase appears α-FeOOH in Fe-MIL-88B/GO. The formation of this phase is due to the interaction between Fe of MIL-88B and hydroxyl group, carboxylic group of GO. From the TEM image of the Fe-MIL-53/GO composite material, Fe-MI
