Abstract:Defect engineering of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) is a versatile approach to tailoring their electronic structures and photocatalytic performance. Herein, Ce-based porphyrin MOFs (CMFs) featuring controlled structural defects were successfully prepared using a simple acid modulation strategy to drive the photocatalytic H 2 generation. The [Ce−O] unit serves as the active site via a ligand-to-metal charge transfer process, which has been confirmed by in situ XPS analysis. Abundant exposed coordinatively uns… Show more
