Abstract

As a typical semiconductor catalyst, BiOBr has an advisable bandgap, superior light absorption properties, and a unique laminated structure. However, the slow electron-hole separation rate results in poor CO2 reduction performance. To enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of BiOBr, this study constructs BiOBr heterojunctions with Lewis basic groups by loading NH2-UiO-66 on BiOBr. The BiOBr/NH2-UiO-66 heterojunction have been built and possess stronger light response, larger specific surface area and electron-hole separation efficiency compared to pure BiOBr and NH2-UiO-66. The optimal BiOBr/NH2-UiO-66 displays that the CO yield is 9.19 μmol g-1h−1, which is 4 times higher than pure BiOBr.
