“…31 So far, various semiconductors, such as Ni-P, ZnO, TiO 2 , MoS 2 , CdS and Co x S y , have been considered as a prospective "coupled phase" for the preparation of ZnS-based heterojunctions, showing greatly accelerated charge mobility and enhanced photocatalytic activity as compared with the pristine ZnS phase. [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Therefore, integrating advanced hollow frame construction and ZnS-based heterostructure engineering through a controllable design can be highly favorable to improve photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. Heteroepitaxial growth strategy on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and the preparation of bimetallic MOFs are widely reported as facile approaches for the synthesis of multiphasic nanoarchitectures, which could be converted to the desired heterostructure by post-synthetic treatments.…”

“…Despite substantial progress in the use of Pt to construct a conventional Schottky junction (e.g., the most commonly used Pt/photocatalyst system), several challenges remain; these include high-cost and substantial Pt loss during cyclic testing. Most importantly, the following parameters of the charge recombination process related to Pt are not well understood and cannot be controllably designed: V transfer (the electron transfer rate from MOF to co-catalyst), the electron transfer rate from MOFs to Pt, which has been generally regarded to significantly influence the electron-hole recombination efficiency; [13,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] D transfer (the electron transfer distance from MOF to co-catalyst), the distance for electron transfer from MOFs to Pt, which determines the final amount of available charge after the long-distance transfer process; [16] V consume (the electron consume rate from co-catalyst to the reactant), the rate of electron transfer from Pt to the reactant for activation, which reflects the efficiency of electron use and the photoreduction efficiency.…”

Manipulation of the co-catalyst plays a vital role in charge separation and reactant activation to enhance the activity of metal-organic framework-based photocatalysts. However, clarifying and controlling co-catalyst related charge transfer process and parameters are still challenging. Herein, three parameters are proposed, V transfer (the electron transfer rate from MOF to co-catalyst), D transfer (the electron transfer distance from MOF to co-catalyst), and V consume (the electron consume rate from co-catalyst to the reactant), related to Pt on UiO-66-NH 2 in a photocatalytic process. These parameters can be controlled by rational manipulation of the co-catalyst via three steps: i) Compositional design by partial substitution of Pt with Pd to form PtPd alloy, ii) location control by encapsulating the PtPd alloy into UiO-66-NH 2 crystals, and iii) facet selection by exposing the encapsulated PtPd alloy (100) facets. As revealed by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy and first-principles simulations, the new Schottky junction (PtPd (100)@UiO-66-NH 2 ) with higher V transfer and V consume exhibits enhanced electron-hole separation and H 2 O activation than the traditional Pt/UiO-66-NH 2 junction, thereby leading to a significant enhancement in the photoactivity.

Solar‐driven carbon dioxide reduction is a promising strategy to manage the global carbon balance. Here, we built the Sn/Cd3(C3N3S3)2 (CdTMT) composite to achieve nearly 99% selectivity in the conversion of CO2 to CO. The Gibbs free energy reveals the lower activation energy barrier of CdTMT and Sn to the formation of the *OCHO intermediate. The metal Sn on the surface of CdTMT to form the Schottky heterojunction significantly improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, and the surface plasmon resonance of Sn can expand and enhance the visible light response range and absorption intensity, boosting the photocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction, which was about 3.7 times that of the pure CdTMT. Therefore, this study can provide new insights into the design and construction of metal–organic semiconductors to realize high‐selectivity heterojunctions in CO2 photoreduction conversion.
