•Zn3(BTC)2 film is rapidly fabricated on a zinc plate by in situ microwave irradiation.•Zn3(BTC)2 film shows a better performance in the photodegradation of MB dye.•Zn3(BTC)2 film possesses well long-term stability.
In this paper, Zn3(BTC)2 (BTC: 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) films were successfully fabricated on the substrate of a zinc plate using in situ microwave. The structure and morphology of the obtained MOF films were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and so on. And the Zn3(BTC)2 film shows a better performance in the photodegradation of MB dye than the commercial TiO2 powder under the similar conditions. The experimental results also confirmed that the Zn3(BTC)2 film displays well long-term stability.
