Abstract

A highly active heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared though dispersing NU-66 octahedrons on the surface of ZnO nanofibers. Among the synthesized samples, the optimal composite (NU-66/ZnO-5) demonstrated the highest H2O2 generation rate in pure water and ambient air. The mechanism of enhanced photocatalytic activity was elucidated by empirical characterization and theoretical simulation.
