Quasi-Polymeric Metal-Organic Framework UiO-66/g-C3N4 Heterojunctions for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution under Visible Light Irradiation

Metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-66/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) hybrids show enhanced photoactivity for hydrogen evolution using visible light. The efficient charge transfer from photoexcited g-C3N4 to UiO-66 MOF is responsible for the enhancement in photocatalytic hydrogen production. The qusi-polymeric nature of the present hybrids makes MOFs a potential candidate to construct active photocatalysts.
