One-pot synthesis of CdS/metal–organic framework aerogel composites for efficient visible photocatalytic reduction of aqueous Cr(vi)

摘要

Metal–organic framework aerogels (MOAs) embedded with CdS (CdS/MOA(Cr)) synthesized via a facile one-pot solvothermal method have a larger surface area than pristine MOA(Cr) and the post-synthesized composite. CdS/MOA(Cr) exhibited 5 times enhancement in the photocatalytic activity than that of pure CdS for Cr( VI ) reduction under visible light without adding any sacrificial agent, due to the larger surface area and photosensitazation of MOA(Cr).
