摘要

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) show great potential in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, but their performance is limited by poor light absorption and rapid electron–hole recombination. To address this, a 2D/2D Z-scheme heterostructure (Ti-BPC@ZIS, Ti-2,2′-Bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid@ZnIn2S4) was constructed by integrating a titanium-based MOF (Ti-BPC) with ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) nanosheets. The heterojunction significantly enhanced visible-light absorption and charge separation, which is contributed Z-scheme structure and pyridine-N–Zn coordination at the interface. Under visible-light irradiation, Ti-BPC@ZIS achieved a CO yield of 3086 μmol/g in 4 h, which is 197.8 times higher than pristine Ti-BPC and 16.9 times higher than pure ZIS. These results highlight the effectiveness of 2D/2D Z-scheme design in improving MOF-based photocatalysts for solar fuel generation.
