  ABSTRACT: The potential of photocatalysis for degrading water pollutants has attracted considerable attention. This research aims to investigate the fabrication of an optical sensitive Cerium Metal-Organic Framework (Ce-5AIA) and its application in the photocatalytic degradation of Remazol Brilliant Violet 5R (RBV-5R). The primary objective is to assess the efficiency of the Cerium Metal-Organic Framework in environmental remediation. The Cerium Metal-Organic Framework was synthesized from cerium nitrate hexahydrate and 5-Aminoisophthalic acid using the solvothermal technique. Characterization tests, including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis, were performed to confirm the successful formation and structural integrity of the synthesized Cerium Metal-Organic Framework. Characterization confirmed the successful synthesis and functionality of the Metal-Organic Framework as an effective catalyst. Synthesized Cerium Metal-Organic Framework was used for photocatalytic degradation of Remazol Brilliant Violet 5R (RBV-5R) as a sample pollutant under solar radiation. The photocatalytic degradation results indicated that the fabricated Cerium Metal-Organic Framework demonstrated significant photocatalytic degradation activity under solar radiation by effectively degrading Remazol Brilliant Violet 5R (RBV-5R). Stability study of the Cerium Metal-Organic Framework for photocatalytic activity indicated that the synthesized MOF was stable after four consecutive uses. These findings suggest that Cerium Metal-Organic Frameworks could serve as a sustainable and efficient solution for the degradation of organic pollutants in aquatic environments.
