Abstract

The photocatalytic production of syngas from CO2 and water is an attractive and straightforward way for both solar energy storage and sustainable development. Here, we combined the hybrid shell of a bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) Zn/Co-zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) and the hybrid photoactive center of Ni-doped CdS nanoparticles (Ni@CdS) to construct a new "2 + 2" photocatalysis system Ni@CdS⊂Zn/Co-ZIF through a facile self-assembly process, which exhibited a double-synergic effect for visible light harvesting and CO2 conversion, leading to one of the highest photocatalytic syngas production rates and excellent recyclability. The H2/CO of syngas ratios can be readily adjusted by controlling the ratio of Zn/Co in the hybrid MOF shell.
