[46] We further investigated the interfacial state and atomic coupling between the TiO 2 NR and UiO-67 in the heterostructure by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). As shown in Figure 2a, the binding energy of O at 530.1 eV in the UiO-67@ TiO 2 is in coincidence with that of the TiO 2 .…”

Photoanode material with high efficiency and stability is extensively desirable in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting for green/renewable energy source. Herein, novel heterostructures is constructed via coating rutile TiO2 nanorods with metal organic framework (MOF) materials UiO‐66 or UiO‐67 (UiO‐66@TiO2 and UiO‐67@TiO2), respectively. The π electrons in the MOF linkers could increase the local electronegativity near the heterojunction interface due to the conjugation effect, thereby enhancing the internal electric field (IEF) at the heterojunction interface. The IEF could drive charge transfer following Z‐scheme mechanism in the prepared heterostructures, inducing photogenerated charge separation efficiency increasing as 156% and 253% for the UiO‐66@TiO2 and UiO‐67@TiO2, respectively. Correspondingly, the UiO‐66@TiO2 and UiO‐67@TiO2 enhanced the photocurrent density as approximate two‐ and threefolds compared with that of pristine TiO2 for PEC water oxidation in universal pH electrolytes. This work demonstrates an effective method of regulating the IEF of heterojunction toward further improved charge separation.

“…[86] An et al fabricated a Ce 4+ doped UiO-67, based on dianion of biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid as linker. [87] The further test of photocatalytic performance indicated that the doped Ce can improve the HER rate from 26.78 to 269.6 µmol g −1 h −1 . Additionally, Ce element doping in traditional photocatalytic materials can also promote their catalytic performance.…”

Photocatalysis is considered to be a green and environment‐friendly technology since it can convert solar energy into other types of chemical energies. Over the past several years, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs)‐based photocatalysts have received remarkable research interest due to their unique morphology, high photocatalytic performance, good chemical stability, easy synthesis, and low cost. In this review, the synthetic strategies of developing MOFs‐based photocatalysts are first introduced. Second, the recent progress in the fabrication of various types of MOFs composites photocatalysts is summarized. Third, the different applications including hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, overall water splitting, nitrogen reduction reaction, carbon dioxide reduction reaction as well as photodegradation of organic pollutants of MOFs‐based photocatalysts are summed up. Finally, the challenges and some suggestions for the future development of MOFs‐ and their composites‐based photocatalysts are also highlighted. It is expected that this report will help researchers to systematically devise and develop highly efficient photocatalysts based on MOFs and their composites.
