Metal organic frameworks constructed heterojunction with α-NiS-β-NiS/CdS: The effect of organic-ligand in UiO-66 for charge transfer of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Developing favorable charge transfer mode for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in a photocatalyst is a promising way to enhance photocatalytic activity. In this study, MOF, decorated with different functional groups, was initially used as charge transfer mode convertor coupled with CdS/α-NiS-β-NiS. The NH2-UiO-66/CdS/α-NiS-β-NiS lead to twice and triple higher H2 evolution compared to (OH)2-UiO-66/CdS/α-NiS-β-NiS and UiO-66/CdS/α-NiS-β-NiS...
