Abstract

was also noticed. Furthermore, the study shows that GBMOFs can be recycled 3-30 times while maintaining >70% of their original degradation performance and morphology in most of the cases. Recent advances and emerging trends include the application of p-n-p heterojunctions, ternary GBMOFs (which outperformed binary counterparts), piezo and sono-assisted photocatalysis, the use of natural sunlight, oxygen vacancies, and defect engineering. Finally, future perspectives are presented to establish a clear framework for guiding the future design of highly efficient, stable, practical, and enhanced GBMOF photocatalytic systems for the remediation of various dyes and pollutants.
