Abstract
In this study, an efficient visible light responsive MIL-125(Ti)/ZnIn2S4 hybrid structure (MIL-1.2/ZIS) was synthesized through two-step method with improved photocatalytic H2-evolution performance. The MIL-1.2/ZIS nanocomposites could retained the characteristic features including the highly surface area of metal organic frameworks and the hierarchical sheet-like structure of ZnIn2S4. The optimal sample could exhibit the H2 generation rate of 873.4 μmol g−1·h−1, and the improved photocatalytic activity could be ascribed to the well-matched band structure and the formation of hybrid interfaces, which could lead to the effective charge transfer and separation of photo-excited electron–hole pairs. We hope this paper could broad the potential utilization of MOF-based nanocomposites in photocatalytic energy conversion fields.
