Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide great prospective in the photodegradation of pollutants. Nevertheless, the poor separation and recovery hamper their pilot- or industrial-scare applications because of their microcrystalline features. Herein, this challenge can be tackled by integrating Cu-MOFs into an alginate substrate to offer environmentally friendly, sustainable, facile separation, and high-performance MOF-based hydrogel photocatalysis platforms. The Cu^II-MOF 1 and Cu^I-MOF 2 were initially synthesized through a direct diffusion and single-crystal to single-crystal (SCSC) transformation method, respectively, and after the immobilization into alginate, more effective pollutant decontamination was achieved via the synergistic effect of the adsorption feature of hydrogel and in situ photodegradation of Cu-MOFs. Specifically, Cu-MOF-alginate composites present an improved and nearly completed Cr(VI) elimination at a short time of 15–25 min. Additionally, the congo red (CR) decolorization can be effectively enhanced in the presence of Cr(VI), and 1-alginate showed superior simultaneous decontamination efficiency of CR and Cr(VI) with 99% and 78%, respectively. Furthermore, Cu-MOF-alginate composites can maintain a high pollutant removal after over 10 continuous cycles (95% for Cr(VI) after 14 runs, and 90% for CR after 10 runs). Moreover, the Cr(VI)/CR degradation mechanism for Cu-MOF-alginate composite was investigated.
