<p>Introducing heterostructure to graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) can improve the activity of visible-light-driven catalysts for efficient treatment of multiple toxic pollutants in water. Here we report for the first time that a complex material can be constructed from an oxygen-doped g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> and MIL-53(Fe) metal-organic framework using a facile hydrothermal synthesis and recycled polyethylene terephthalate from plastic waste. The novel multi-walled nanotube structure of the O-g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>/MIL-53(Fe) composite which enables unique interfacial charge transfer at the heterojunction showed an obvious enhancement in separation efficiency of the photochemical electron-hole pairs. This resulted in narrow bandgap energy (2.30 eV compared to 2.55 eV in O-g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>), high photocurrent intensity (0.17 mA cm<sup>-2 </sup>compared to 0.12 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> and 0.09 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> in MIL-53(Fe) and O-g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>, respectively), and excellent catalytic performance in the photodegradation of anionic azo dyes (95% RR 195 and 99% RY 145 degraded after 4 h, and only a minor change in the efficiency observed after four consecutive tests). These results demonstrate the development of new catalysts made from waste feedstocks that show high stability, ease of fabrication and can operate in natural light for environmental remediation.</p>

Physisorption is a promising technology to cut cost for separating ethylene (C2H4) from ethane (C2H6), the most energy-intensive separation process in the petrochemical industry. However, traditional thermodynamically selective adsorbents exhibit limited C2H4/C2H6 selectivity due to their similar physiochemical properties, and the performance enhancement is typically at the expense of elevated adsorption heat. Here, we report highly-efficient C2H4/C2H6 adsorption separation in a phosphate-anion pillared metal-organic framework ZnAtzPO4 exploiting the equilibrium-kinetic synergetic effect. The periodically expanded and contracted aperture decorated with electronegative groups within ZnAtzPO4 enables effective trapping of C2H4 and impedes the diffusion of C2H6, offering an extraordinary equilibrium-kinetic combined selectivity of 32.4. The adsorption heat of C2H4 on ZnAtzPO4 (17.3 to 30.0 kJ mol−1) is substantially lower than many thermodynamically selective adsorbents because its separation capability only partially relies on thermodynamics. The separation mechanism was explored by computational simulations, and breakthrough experiments confirmed the excellent C2H4/C2H6 separation performance of ZnAtzPO4.
