Metal-organic framework (MOF) have gained significant interest for photocatalysis, mainly due to the advantages of the regulable semiconducting characteristics and tunable porous structure. In this work, a novel heterojunction of NH2-UiO-66/BiOBr composites were successfully synthesized via the growth of BiOBr nanosheets on the surface of these NH2-UiO-66 octahedrons. The as-prepared composites showed a large interface contact area, which ensured preferable charge carriers transfer between NH2-UiO-66 and BiOBr. In addition, the increased specific surface area endowed NH2-UiO-66/BiOBr composites with high adsorption capacity for contaminants. As a consequence, the composites displayed enhanced photocatalytic performance for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) degradation and Cr(VI) reduction in comparison with BiOBr or NH2-UiO-66, and the ideal NH2-UiO-66 content was around 15 wt%. Superoxide radical (O2•-) and holes (h+) acted as a key role in the degradation of TC, while electrons (e-) and O2•- were the major active groups involved in Cr(VI) reduction owing to reactive-species-quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) technique. Furthermore, a possible TC degradation pathway was explored based on the Mass spectroscopy (MS) analysis. The introduction of MOF into inorganic photocatalysts exhibits a promising strategy to enhance the photoreactivity of the catalysts in the field of water purification.
