MIL-53(Fe) as a highly efficient bifunctional photocatalyst for the simultaneous reduction of Cr(VI) and oxidation of dyes

[Display omitted] •Fe(III)-based MOF was firstly applied to the photocatalytic reduction reaction.•MIL-53(Fe) exhibited an outstanding photocatalytic activity for reduction of Cr(VI).•A first systematic study of the Fe(III)-based MOF as bifunctional photocatalyst.•Dyes and Cr(VI) could be also conve...
