Construction of heterostructured MIL-125/Ag/g-C3N4 nanocomposite as an efficient bifunctional visible light photocatalyst for the organic oxidation and reduction reactions
A heterojunction MIL-125/Ag/C3N4 nanocomposite was implemented as an efficient visible-light response photocatalysts. Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were photodeposited on the surface of g-C3N4 and MIL-125 to increase visible-light absorption and reducing the recombination of electron-holes. MIL-125/Ag/C3N4 nanocomposite is efficient visible-light response photocatalysts for the photoreduction of nitrocompounds in the green catalytic routes. MIL-125/Ag/C3N4 nanocomposite is efficient visible-light response photocatalysts for the photoxidation of alcohols in the O2 atmosphere and ambient temperature.
