Abstrakt: Cu-modified TiO 2 nanoparticles derived from MIL-125 were prepared by solvothermal method for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light illumination. For boosting the photocatalytic performance as well as the physicochemical properties of bare sample, 2 wt % Cu 2+ ions were integrated into the nodes of the MIL-125 framework. The results showed that incorporation of 2 wt % Cu 2+ ions into the MOF framework had significant effects on the crystallographic structure and morphological and optical properties of photocatalytic samples, as well as catalytic activity for the methylene blue degradation reaction. The high activity profile of Cu-modified TiO 2 nanoparticles derived from MIL-125 might be attributed to the increased thermal stability, lower band gap energy, and smaller crystallite size of the sample. Activity tests were carried out at five varying MB initial concentrations and four different pH values. According to the findings, an increase in initial dye concentration resulted in a decrease in degradation efficiency. It was observed that increasing the pH value in the range of 3-11 initially led to higher degradation rates until pH 7, after which the degradation rate began to decline.
