Abstract

AbstractReactive oxygen species (ROS), as one kind of the most highly oxidizing oxidants, are difficult to generate and utilize in the natural light conditions, since many materials require external strong stimuli for ROS release to be effective as pollutant degradation or biocide. In this work, we surprisingly found the ROS generation on MIL‐100(Fe)/TiO2 driven by mild natural light. Then ROS generation patterns and mechanism was revealed by chemiluminescence (CL) and density functional theory (DFT). Meanwhile, rhodamine B (RhB) can also be removed by MIL‐100(Fe)/TiO2 under natural light, which further evidence the ROS generation under the natural light. This work provides a new direction for spontaneously generating ROS releasing without external strong stimuli and has the broad potential applications in the field of pollutant degradation or antimicrobials under natural conditions.
