Abstract

2-Naphthol has undergone a specific oxidation process, leading to the formation of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, a compound also recognized as Lawsone. In this research, NH2-MIL-125(Ti) was employed as a potent catalyst for photocatalytic reactions in conjunction with H2O2. The impact of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) on the reaction efficiency was prominently observed, leading to noticeable enhancements in the reaction yield.
