The well fabrication and determination of the MIL-88A\/SnFe2O4@MXene properties were investigated using SEM, XPS, VSM, Zeta potential, XRD, and FTIR tools. The Fenton-like degradation reaction of CR by MIL-88A\/SnFe2O4@MXene was thoroughly studied to identify the optimal proportions of the catalyst components, the impact of CR and H2O2 concentrations, as well as the effect of raising the temperature and the pH medium of the catalytic system and the catalyst dosage. Kinetics studies were executed to analyze the decomposition of CR and H2O2 using First-order and Second-order models. Furthermore, the degradation mechanism was proposed based on the scavenging test that proceeded in the presence of chloroform and t-butanol, in addition to the XPS analysis that clarified the participation of the containing metal species: Fe, Sn, and Ti, and the formation of a continual redox cycle. The obtained intermediates during the CR degradation were defined by GC\u2013MS. A recyclability test was performed on MIL-88A\/SnFe2O4@MXene during five runs of the Fenton-like degradation of CR molecules. Finally, the novel MIL-88A\/SnFe2O4@MXene Fenton-like catalyst could be recommended as a propitious heterogeneous catalyst with a continuous redox cycle and a recyclability merit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano14010054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,24]],"date-time":"2023-12-24T20:48:37Z","timestamp":1703450917000},"page":"54","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Enhanced Redox Cycle of Rod-Shaped MIL-88A\/SnFe2O4@MXene Sheets for Fenton-like Degradation of Congo Red: Optimization and Mechanism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Eman M.","family":"Abd El-Monaem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Alexandria University, Alexandria 21934, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4705-890X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nouf","family":"Al Harby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, College of Science, Qassim University, Buraidah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mervette El","family":"Batouti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Alexandria University, Alexandria 21934, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8912-1244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdelazeem S.","family":"Eltaweil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Alexandria University, Alexandria 21934, Egypt"},{"name":"Department of Engineering, College of Engineering and Technology, University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Sultanate of Oman"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113160","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecoenv.2021.113160","article-title":"A critical review on the treatment of dye-containing wastewater: Ecotoxicological and health concerns of textile dyes and possible remediation approaches for environmental safety","volume":"231","author":"Ali","year":"2022","journal-title":"Ecotoxicol.
