Location effect in a photocatalytic hybrid system of metal-organic framework interfaced with semiconductor nanoparticles

We report an ultrafast spectroscopy investigation that addresses the subtle location effect in a prototypical semiconductor-MOF hybrid system with TiO2 nanoparticles being incorporated inside or supported onto Cu3(BTC)2, denoted as TiO2@Cu3(BTC)2 and TiO2/Cu3(BTC)2, respectively. By tracking in real time the interface electron dynamics in the hybrid system, we find that the interface states formed between TiO2 and Cu3(BTC)2 can act as an effective relay for electron transfer, whose efficiency rests on the relative location of the two components. It is such a subtle location effect that brings on difference in photocatalytic CO2 reduction using the two semiconductor-MOF hybrids. The mechanistic understanding of the involved interface electron-transfer behavior and effect opens a helpful perspective for rational design of MOF-based hybrid systems for photoelectrochemical applications.We report an ultrafast spectroscopy investigation that addresses the subtle location effect in a prototypical semiconductor-MOF hybrid system with TiO2 nanoparticles being incorporated inside or supported onto Cu3(BTC)2, denoted as TiO2@Cu3(BTC)2 and TiO2/Cu3(BTC)2, respectively.
