7 Light-driven photocatalysis for dyes using ZIF-8 base composite materials

Abstract
Zinc metal and 2-methylimidazole are part of zeolite imidazolate framework- 8 (a typical metal-organic framework material). ZIF-8 finds wide application in photocatalytic materials. ZIF-8 composite materials are of significant importance. Specific surface area decreases if ZIF-8 material heaps together. When we remove pollutants from the ZIF-8 materials, it isn’t easy to separate them from water. Hence, ZIF-8 material has weak recyclability. Modern ZIF-8 composite materials are available for wastewater treatment. This chapter elaborates on preparing and designing new methods for the ZIF-8 composite. Nowadays, we use ZIF-8 composite as an adsorbent and photocatalyst. The primary purpose of further research on ZIF- 8 material is wastewater treatment. Several factors that affect the efficiency and the mechanism of ZIF-8 material in removing pollutants have been discussed in this chapter. This chapter discusses how we make efficient ZIF-8 composites that can be used to remove dyes from water. We also propose future research direction and current challenges of ZIF-8 composite materials.
