Abstract
, which was 17, 7.76 and 2.67 times as high as that of individual ZIF-67, AgCl and ZIF-67/AgCl, respectively. The ZIF-67/AgCl/Ag photocatalyst also exhibited good stability and reusability in the process of photodegradation. This work demonstrated a high efficiency photocatalyst for providing new sights into the preparation of a highly efficient MOF-based heterojunction photocatalyst and its potential applications in water purification.
