Water pollution is one of the main challenges that severely affects human health and aquatic ecosystems. Chemical pollutants, including industrial waste, agricultural runoff, clinical sources, can contaminate water. Photocatalytic processes present clean, renewable, efficient techniques for degrading organic contaminants in wastewater. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are more materials wastewater remediation due to their significantly high surface area tunable structures. This review summarizes development novel composite based on MOFs photocatalytic decomposition dye Different synthesis methods explored. Several strategies enhancing activity discussed. reaction conditions suggested mechanisms summarized, particularly eliminating using MOF-based materials. The designed demonstrate improved stability activity. provides designing improving efficiency elimination pollutants Additionally, addresses advancing

This paper investigates the photocatalytic performance of ZnO-SnO2 nanocomposites deposited using Spray Pyrolysis technique, with varying percentages tin oxide (20, 60, and 80%) on glass substrates at 350 °C. Comprehensive characterization samples was carried out X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force (AFM), UV-Vis spectroscopy to analyze their structural, morphological, optical properties. The XRD analysis confirmed hexagonal structure zinc tetragonal phase in nanocomposites. average crystallite size found decrease an increase percentage oxide. spectra demonstrated that band gap energy nanocomposite increased from 3.29 3.64 eV as amount Sn increased. Urbach decreases reflecting improvement structural electronic quality material, fewer defects better crystallinity. Additionally, SEM results reveal a transition surface morphology increasing content, shifting smooth, compact highly aggregated particle surface, highest thickness (740 nm) observed 80% SnO2. Remarkably, exhibited superior activity, successfully degrading 91% methylene blue solution within 180 min under UV irradiation. Moreover, stability reusability sample were through repeated cycles. use chemical synthesis technique for elaboration Sn:Zn mixed light catalyzer which, is well suited large bandgap materials, optimizes this work by providing contact area facilitating interaction between photocatalyst target molecules. These findings highlight its potential effective environmental applications, specifically photocatalysis pollution control protection. collectively suggest nanocomposites, spray method, represent promising candidates advancing technologies.

Abstract The release of synthetic dyes from the textile industry into aquatic environments poses a significant threat due to their carcinogenic properties. Photocatalytic treatment methods have emerged as efficient alternatives for addressing dye contamination in water. In this study, we investigate photocatalytic degradation methylene blue using zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles under UV irradiation. ZnO nanopowders were synthesized via sol–gel process and characterized structural, optoelectronic, optical, chemical properties demonstrate suitability degradation. experiments conducted pure catalysts, resulting efficiency 72.3% blue. Characterization techniques, such X‐Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive Analysis (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), FTIR confirmed presence bonds uniform distribution with small grain sizes. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations modified Becke–Johnson (mBJ) approximation revealed direct band gap 3 eV ZnO, confirming its potential photocatalysis. These findings underscore enhanced activity nanoparticles, highlighting use photocatalysis applications. This study contributes growing body research aimed at environmental challenges associated
