Abstract
Addressing the need for efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment, we report on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of Fe-BTC films prepared via multiple methods (reflux, coprecipitation, and water bath methods) for visible-light-driven photodegradation of pollutants and oil–water separation. The Fe-BTC films were synthesized and evaluated for their photocatalytic performance in degrading tetracycline and rhodamine B. Their wettability was determined by measuring the static contact angle. All synthesized Fe-BTC films exhibited significant photodegradation of TC and RhB, achieving removal rates of 87 % and 97 %, respectively. The Fe-BTC films synthesized through the water bath method demonstrated exceptional stability and ease of recovery. The static contact angle of Fe-BTC films was measured to be above 154°, indicating its high efficiency in oil–water separation applications. These findings indicated that Fe-BTC films are a promising, low-cost material for dual applications: photocatalytic water purification and efficient oil–water separation.
