As a kind of efficient photocatalyst, coordination polymers (CPs) have gained much attention in recent years. However, their safety issue and time-consuming synthesis impede their practical application. Here in this paper we first demonstrate the facile synthesis and photocatalytic degradation performance of 1D α-ferrous oxalate dihydrate (α-FOD), which is one of the simplest CPs. A unique two-pathway photocatalytic mechanism which combines traditional photocatalytic and photo-initiated Fenton oxidations has been proposed. The excellent photocatalytic performance and cost-effective fabrication make α-FOD a new promising candidate for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in practical applications.

作为一种有效的光催化剂，配位聚合物（CPs）近年来受到了广泛的关注。然而，它们的安全性问题和费时的综合阻碍了它们的实际应用。在本文中，我们首先证明一维α-草​​酸亚铁二水合物（α-FOD）的简便合成和光催化降解性能，这是最简单的CP之一。提出了结合传统的光催化和光引发的芬顿氧化的独特的两种途径的光催化机理。出色的光催化性能和具有成本效益的制造方法使α-FOD成为实际应用中有机污染物光催化降解的新有希望的候选者。
