title: A clean and general strategy to decorate a titanium metal-organic framework with noble-metal nanoparticles for versatile photocatalytic applications.
abstract: We demonstrate a facile and general approach for the fabrication of highly dispersed Au, Pd, and Pt nanoparticles (NPs) on MIL-125(Ti) without using extra reducing and capping agents. Noble-metal NP formation is directed by an in situ redox reaction between the reductive MIL-125(Ti) with Ti(3+) and oxidative metal salt precursors. The resulting composites function as efficient photocatalysts.
