Abstract
Designing high‐efficiency photocatalysts with high charge separation and rapid charge transfer still a challenge. Herein, highly effective g‐C3N4/NH2–UIO‐66 (CNU) hybrids are developed using an engineered ZrN bond between the two components. The formation of the ZrN bond provides an electron transfer pathway between the conduction band (CB) of g‐C3N4 (CN) and Zr centers, which shortens the carrier migration distance, greatly enhancing the separation efficiency of photogeneration carriers. The as‐prepared CNU shows an outstanding performance for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) under visible light irradiation due to the rapid charge carrier interfacial transfer. This work provides a promising strategy for the design of efficient photocatalysts and helps to establish an effective and sustainable method for removing Cr(VI) under ambient conditions.
