Abstract We studied the photocatalytic degradation of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) by three kinds of MOFs (ZIF-8, NTU-9 and MOF-525). Among the three kinds of MOFs, NTU-9 and MOF-525 can selectively photocatalytic oxidize CEES to 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (CEESO). And MOF-525 showed higher catalytic activity.
