A bismuth-based metal-organic framework as an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst.
A visible-light-responsive bismuth-based metal-organic framework (Bi-mna) is demonstrated to show good photoelectric and photocatalytic properties. Combining experimental and theoretical results, a ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) process is found to be responsible for the high performance, which gives rise to a longer lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers. Our results suggest that bismuth-based MOFs could be promising candidates for the development of efficient visible-light photocatalysts.
