Different ligand functionalized UiO-66 (UiO-66-X, X = OH, (OH)2 and NH2) were prepared and then modified by ZnIn2S4 lamellas to form ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-X heterostructures for visible-light-driven H2O2 evolution in pure water. The H2O2 yields using ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2, ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-(OH)2 and ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-OH are 799, 733 and 165 μmol L−1, respectively, which are 9.5, 8.7 and 2.0 times that of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66. The high performance of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 and ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-(OH)2 is ascribed to the benign visible-light response and Z-scheme heterostructures, and the H2O2 evolution abides by indirect O2 reduction with ˙O2− as an intermediate species. Additionally, H2O2 yields using ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 on tap water and Xuanwu Lake (Nanjing, China) water can be comparable to that on the above-deionized water. This study sheds light on the great promise of functionalized MOFs and their applications on green (photo)catalytic energy conversion.

In the face of challenges presented by rapid urbanization and industrialization, the surge in dye wastewater has emerged as a prominent concern. This study introduces a pioneering novel approach aimed at augmenting the electrocatalytic efficiency of O 2 reduction to H 2 O 2 through the modification of a hybrid catalyst with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to construct gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs). The hybrid catalyst, consisting of carbon black and DMSO, was meticulously fabricated, and its electrocatalytic activity was thoroughly investigated using various characterization techniques. Within 180 min, the 3 %DM cathode showcased efficient H 2 O 2 generation, reaching 850 μM, and remarkable oxygen utilization, achieving 60.49 %. Intriguingly, the fabricated 3 %DM hybrid catalyst maintained a three-phase interfacial (TPI) due to its super-hydrophilic property. This study elucidates the pivotal role of DMSO in enhancing the performance of hybrid catalysts for O 2 reduction to H 2 O 2 . The insights provide valuable perspectives into the development of efficient and resilient electrochemical systems for sustainable energy conversion and environmental applications.
