Switching on photocatalytic NO oxidation and proton reduction of NH-MIL-125(Ti) by convenient linker defect engineering.

Photocatalysis technology has been widely adopted to abate typical air pollutants. Nevertheless, developing photocatalysts aimed at improving photocatalytic efficiency is a challenge. Herein, the linker-defect NH-MIL-125(Ti) photocatalyst was synthesized through a convenient one-step heating-stirring method (just adjusting multiple temperatures) to firstly realize efficient photocatalytic performances of NO removal and hydrogen evolution.
