Engineered interface coverage and precise cocatalyst placement in MOF-derived heterojunction photocatalysts for selective methane oxidation.

ABSTRACT: While the rational fabrication of heterojunction photocatalysts with tunable interfaces and precise location control of cocatalysts holds great promise for enhanced photocatalysis, the synergistic integration of these parameters remains a substantial challenge. Herein, a series of metal-organic framework (MOF) composites with compact interfaces and customizable interface coverage are designed by epitaxial growth of ZIF-8 on the surface of MIL-125-NH₂, yielding ZIF-8 _m /MIL-125-NH₂ (m = 21, 35, 65, representing the coverage percentage of ZIF-8 on the MIL-125-NH₂ surface). These composites are then converted into ZnO/TiO _x heterojunctions through a two-step thermal treatment, termed ZTO-m, for photocatalytic C
