Abstract

Several kinds of UiO-66-NH2 with different aggregation morphologies were prepared to verify that the morphology of the photocatalyst could influence charge transfer. That showing poor aggregation exhibits superior CO2 photoreduction performance, attributed to the small particle size related to the poor aggregation and to the resulting high efficiency of separation of photogenerated electrons and holes.
