**5. Conclusions**

The derivative of MCM-41 with cobalt was created and described. Under ideal circumstances, the materials have produced effective results in the photodegradation of the anthroquinone dye Alizarin Red S. The fact that Co-MCM-41 degrades more effectively than MCM-41 is proof of the metal's influence on the microporous material's framework when serving as a photocatalyst.
