In-situ growth of ZIF-8 nanocrystals to prepare cotton-based composites with dye degradation and antibacterial abilities

Developing new type of environmental purification materials and antibacterial materials is of great significance. Herein, a novel cotton fiber (CF) based composite [email protected] was designed by in-situ growth strategy and was applied in the photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial. Reactive Black KN-B (RB5) was used as a model pollutant. The results showed that the photocatalytic degradation of RB5 was well fitted by the first-order...
