Özet

Photochemical transformation that converts solar energy into stable chemical fuels represents a promising approach to mitigate the adverse impacts of environmental pollution and fossil fuel dependence. NH2-functionalized UiO-66-based S-scheme heterostructures showed significant progress in photocatalytic applications, delivering superior performance by enhancing light-harvesting capability and charge separation efficacy. This review initially outlines the background knowledge of UiO-66-NH2-based S-scheme heterojunctions. Then it systematically presents the significant role of NH2 functionalization in UiO-66 and the advanced characterization techniques. Moreover, the development of a single S-scheme mechanism, followed by in-depth analysis of the twin S-scheme mechanism was thoroughly analyzed. Afterwards, the use of NH2-UiO-66-based S-scheme hybrids for environmental remediation and energy conversion were discussed. Finally, this work outlines the respective challenges and future perspectives in the field, with the aim of offering strategic insights for designing highly effective MOF-based S-scheme photocatalysts that support sustainable development goals.
