Covalently anchoring silver nanoclusters Ag₄₄ on modified UiO-66-NH₂ with Bi₂S₃ nanorods and MoS₂ nanoparticles for exceptional solar wastewater treatment activity.

ABSTRACT: For the first time, covalently anchoring size selected silver nanoclusters [Ag₄₄(MNBA)₃₀] on the Bi₂S₃@UiO-66-NH₂ and MoS₂@UiO-66-NH₂ heterojunctions were constructed as novel photocatalysts for photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The anchoring of Ag₄₄ on MoS₂@UiO-66-NH₂ and Bi₂S₃@UiO-66-NH₂ heterojunctions extended the light absorption of UiO-66-NH₂ to the visible region and improved the transfer and separation of photogenerated charge carriers through the heterojunctions with a unique band gap structure. The UV-Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopic analysis confirmed that the optical absorption properties of the UiO-66-NH
