Abstract

In this work, carbon quantum dots@In2S3 hollow tube (CQDs@In2S3) with sheet-like hierarchical structure was synthesized by sulfidation CQDs@In-MIL-68. The CQDs@In2S3-2 exhibited the optimal Cr(VI) reductive ratio of nearly 100% after 45 ​min light irradiation in solution with pH of 4. The enhanced Cr(VI) reduction activity was ascribed to the efficient separation of electrons and holes after coupling of CQDs. The ·O2− was the dominant active specie to reduce Cr(VI), and possible mechanism was proposed. This work provides thought for design of high-performance photocatalysts by loading electron-collecting species to remove environmental pollutants.
