Abstract

The photoactive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were controllably coated on the surface plasmon resonance-excited Ag nanowires in a layer manner to adjust the photocatalytic activity. The influence of the thickness of the MOF coating layer on the photocatalytic activity was investigated. A thicker MOF coating layer not only facilitated the photogenerated electron-hole separation efficiency but also provided a larger Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, thus enhancing the photocatalytic activity. This work provided a new way to adjust the photocatalytic activity of the photoactive MOF.
