Synthesis of Au@UiO-66(NH2) structures by small molecule-assisted nucleation for plasmon-enhanced photocatalytic activity.
We have provided a small molecule-assisted heterogeneous nucleation of MOF route to successfully synthesize Au@UiO-66(NH2) heterostructures. UiO-66(NH2) with a localized electronic state that was characterized by C-AFM exhibited higher photocatalytic activity in the heterostructures via a plasmonic sensitization process.
