Abstract
A series of Zr-porphyrin metal–organic framework (Zr-PMOF)/ultrathin g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> (UCN) heterostructure photocatalysts, as stable and efficient catalysts for the photoreduction of CO<sub>2</sub>, have been fabricated <italic>via</italic> a facile <italic>in situ</italic> hydrothermal self-assembly method.
