Photocatalytic degradation of single and binary dyes using activated HKUST-1 and its derived copper oxide
Organic dye contamination poses serious environmental and health concerns due to stability and poor biodegradability of common dyes like methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO). In this work, HKUST-1 was synthesized and activated through two distinct routes i.e., heat treatment (HT) and solvent exchange using dichlo...
