An emerging global necessity for alternative resources combined with maximum catalytic efficiency, low cost, and eco-friendly composite remains a hotspot in the scientific society. Hereby, a novel protocol is approached to design a heterostructure of Zinc MOF decorated on the surface of 2D activated carbon (AC) through a simplistic approach. To begin with, analytical, morphological and spectroscopical studies were performed to identify the functional moieties, cruciate-flower like morphology and oxidative state of atoms present in the composite Zn-MOF @AC. The photocatalytic material aids in degrading both cationic and anionic dye in a UV (254 nm) irradiated environment at a rate of 86.4% and 77.5% within 90 mins. Subsequently, the hybrid materials are coated on the carbon substrate to evaluate the catalytic activity using oxygen evolution and reduction reaction process. The mechanical insight for the catalytic activity relies on the electronic transitions of atoms on the edges of the sheets ascribing to d-d energy levels between the interfacial electron movement. Our composite exhibits an overpotential of 0.7 V and a Tafel slope of 70 mV/dec for the oxygen reduction reaction. This study proposes an alternate approach for developing MOF decorated carbon-based composites for photocatalytic degradability and energy necessity.

对替代资源的新兴全球需求与最大催化效率、低成本和环保复合材料相结合，仍然是科学界的热点。因此，采用一种新的协议来设计一种通过简单方法装饰在 2D 活性炭 (AC) 表面上的锌 MOF 异质结构。首先，进行了分析、形态学和光谱学研究，以确定复合 Zn-MOF @AC 中存在的功能部分、十字花状形态和原子的氧化状态。光催化材料有助于在紫外线 (254 nm) 照射环境中以 86.4% 和 77.5% 的速率在 90 分钟内降解阳离子和阴离子染料。随后，将杂化材料涂覆在碳基材上，以利用析氧和还原反应过程评估催化活性。催化活性的机械洞察力依赖于薄片边缘原子的电子跃迁，这归因于界面电子运动之间的 dd 能级。我们的复合材料在氧还原反应中表现出 0.7 V 的过电位和 70 mV/dec 的 Tafel 斜率。这项研究提出了一种替代方法来开发 MOF 装饰的碳基复合材料，以实现光催化降解性和能源需求。我们的复合材料在氧还原反应中表现出 0.7 V 的过电位和 70 mV/dec 的 Tafel 斜率。这项研究提出了一种替代方法来开发 MOF 装饰的碳基复合材料，以实现光催化降解性和能源需求。我们的复合材料在氧还原反应中表现出 0.7 V 的过电位和 70 mV/dec 的 Tafel 斜率。这项研究提出了一种替代方法来开发 MOF 装饰的碳基复合材料，以实现光催化降解性和能源需求。
