Abstract

The development of efficient strategies to promote spatial charge separation is a promising way for the improvement of photocatalytic performance. Herein, a novel surface oxygen vacancy (OVs) modified Bi2MoO6/MIL-88B(Fe) heterostructure (BMO/M88) was exemplified by a facile two steps solvothermal method to demonstrate synergistic promotion of bulk & interface charge separation. Due to the existence of OVs and the construction of heterostructure, the Bi2MoO6/MIL-88B(Fe) composites exhibited significant enhancement of visible-light responsive range and possessed more efficient bulk & interface charge separation. This novel Bi2MoO6/MIL-88B(Fe) composites exhibited high visible light photocatalytic performance toward dye pollutant rhodamine B (RhB) and model colorless pollutant bisphenol A (BPA) photodegradation, and the possible Type II heterojunction mechanism of photocatalysis process was investigated. This work not only provides a novel pathway for design of MOFs-based heterojunction with surface OVs defect modification but also offers a strategy for significantly enhanced bulk & interface charge carriers separation.
