Abstract
The rational configuration of built-in electric field (IEF) in heterogeneous materials can significantly optimize the band structure to accelerate the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. However, the strength modulation of IEF formed by various materials has an uncertain enhancing effect on the separation of photogenerated carriers. Herein, a mesoporous MIL-125(Ti)@BiOCl S-scheme heterojunction with controllable IEF is prepared by green photoreduction reaction to investigate the relationship between IEF, microstructure, and photocatalytic activity. Moreover, the corresponding results demonstrate the MIL-125(Ti)@BiOCl effectively regulates the IEF strength through controlling the concentration of ligand defects, thereby optimizing the band structure and improving the efficiency of photogenerated charge separation. The optimized IEF significantly enhances the photocatalytic degradation performance of mesoporous MIL-125(Ti)-3@BiOCl towards tetracycline, with a k value of 0.07 min–1, which are approximately 5.5 and 4.7 times greater than that of BiOCl (0.0127 min–1) and MIL-125(Ti)-3 (0.015 min–1). These findings provide a new pathway for regulating IEF within MOF-based heterojunctions, and offer new insights into the intrinsic correlations between defect structure, IEF, and photocatalytic activity.
