Doping copper into ZIF-67 for enhancing gas uptake capacity and visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of organic dye

A doping strategy was successfully applied to tune the gas sorption and photocatalytic properties of a microporous material ZIF-67. The Cu-doped phase integrated both structural features and functions of ZIF-67 showed high gas uptake capacity and highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic property on the degradation of methyl orange.
