“…in the organic linkers could show a bathochromic shift along with modification of the HOMO energy level . In terms of photocatalytic activation of atmospheric molecules, MOFs like UiO-66 (Zr), Ni-MOF, MIL-125 (Ti), MIL-53 (Al, Cr, Fe), MIL-88B (Fe) and ZIF have been explored intensively. ,, However, copper coordinated amino-functionalized benzenedicarboxylate MOF (Cu-BDC-NH 2 ) with paddle-wheel-like architecture containing solvent-exchangeable open metal sites is rarely explored for activation of atmospheric molecules. , Recently, Cu-BDC-NH 2‑ based heterostructure materials have been utilized for various applications like peroxidase mimicking activities, fluorescent sensing, adsorbent, supercapacitor application, CO 2 reduction, dye degradation, and overall water splitting. − In addition, the synthesis and photocatalytic application of metal sulfide-based heterojunctions containing Cu-BDC-NH 2 as a photoactive component is yet to be studied. To construct high-efficacy heterostructure materials, various nonconventional strategies like core–shell configuration, template-assisted synthesis, and hierarchical and epitaxial growth have been employed recently. , Among all of these, the template-assisted self-assembled growth of heterostructure materials displays an oriented and controlled topology that provides high interfacial contact for synergistic charge channelization.…”
