Peroxymonosulfate activated M-MOF-74 (M = Co, Fe, Ni) visible light photocatalysts for methylene blue degradation enhancement

, which is approximately 19.44 times higher than the reaction rate constant of the original Co-MOF-74. Compared with Fe-MOF-74 and Ni-MOF-74, Co-MOF-74 exhibits better photocatalytic performance due to the dynamic changes in the valence state of cobalt, which more effectively facilitate the activation of PMS. In addition, this study analyses the possible degradation pathways of MB in water and toxicological evaluations of intermediate products, providing new insights for the effective removal of dyes in water.
