Stable self-assembly AgI/UiO-66(NH2) heterojunction as efficient visible-light responsive photocatalyst for tetracycline degradation and mechanism insight

UiO-66(NH2) is a fascinating visible-light responsive amino functionalized zirconium-MOF. However, its photocatalytic performance is less satisfactory because of the disappointing separation rate of electron-hole pairs and the poor solar energy utilization ability. In this research, an unique AgI/UiO-66(NH2) heterojunction was constructed via a facile ion exchange precipitation method to reinforce the photocatalytic performance of UiO-66(NH2)....
