Fabrication of ZiF-8 metal organic framework (MOFs)-based CuO-ZnO photocatalyst with enhanced solar-light-driven property for degradation of organic dyes

In this research, novel CuO-ZnO/ZiF-8 metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) photocatalyst with different mass percentages of ZiF-8 were prepared for water purification applications under visible light. The precipitation method was used to synthesize CuO-ZnO/ZiF-8 photocatalysts. Some techniques, including...
