Abstract
current density. Additionally, BiNP@Zr-DMBD-1 composite was shown to exhibit photoactivity beyond the typical near-UV absorption range of Bi NPs, where it completely degraded methylene blue dye within 1 h of blue LED irradiation. This work therefore underlines the potential of thiol-rich MOFs in developing new nanomaterials for diverse catalytic applications.
