Abstract
The facets effect on the catalytic properties of inorganic compounds and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been widely demonstrated, but the intrinsic facets effect free of interference of capping agents has not been discussed. Here we give a proof-of-concept illustration on the intrinsic facets effect by employing the popularly investigated NH2-MIL-125(Ti) MOFs with {001}, {111} and {100} facets controllably exposed as model photocatalysts, which were synthesized via a simple supersaturation strategy free of any capping agents. Compared to conventional synthetic routes with capping agents employed, the NH2-MIL-125(Ti) MOFs obtained in this work exhibit remarkably different physical and chemical properties such as surface wettability, charge separation as well as trend of facets effect on photocatalytic water splitting performance. The main reason has been unraveled to originate from unavoidable residue/influence of capping agents during the conventional facets-controlled synthetic routes leading to changed local surface structural environment as well as distinct charge separation property. Our results demonstrate the importance and feasibility of facets-controllable synthesis free of capping agents in getting insight into the intrinsic facets effect of MOFs-related materials.
