Abstract
In this study,a Ni-Fe metal-organic framework modified by-NH2 and-SH was synthesized using a sim-ple hydrothermal process for enhancing photocatalytic CO2 reduction.As expected,the N2S-NiFe(NH2-BDC/H4DSBDC,2∶1)displayed excellent photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity and high CO selectivity(12,412.23 μmol g-1 h-1)under visible light irradiation(λ ≥ 420 nm),which is 5 times that of NiFe-MOF.Notably,the excellent photocatalytic performance of N2S-NiFe can benefit from the rich defect trap site caused by the introduction of amino and sulfhydryl groups,accelerating charge transfer and promot-ing space charge separation,as supported by the photo-electrochemical properties.To better understand the CO2 adsorption mechanism,density functional theory calculations were performed,which revealed that the Niov site has more negative adsorption energy compared with the Feov site.This study pro-vides a simple strategy to establish efficient photocatalysts for CO2 reduction through the modification of organic ligands.
