Abstract:
Fabricating heterostructures enhances the photocatalytic performance of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their excellent light absorption and high efficient charge transfer capacity. In this study, we designed and implemented three-dimensional dendritic UiO-66-NH2@MIL-101(Fe) (UOML) heterostructures as catalysts for photocatalytic styrene oxidation. The UOML catalysts exhibited a well-matched band gap structure and efficient catalytic interface, leading to a remarkable photoexcited carrier separation and catalytic activity. Our results present a promising insight for synthesizing novel MOFs-based catalysts and their applications.
