Unavoidable organics in uranium wastewater or contaminated waters derive great challenges to traditional uranium removal techniques. Here, a drivingpower enhanced photocatalytic fuel cell (DEPFC) is designed by using a carbon felt (CF)-based UiO-66-NH 2 derived zirconia (ZrO 2 )/N-doped porous carbon (ZrON-C/CF) cathode and a monolithic photoanode, composing of a front FTO glass-based BiVO 4 film and a rearmounted Si photovoltaic cell, for effectively oxidizing organics and simultaneously reducing UO 2 2+ from complex wastewater under sunlight illumination. The water contact angle measurements demonstrate that ZrO 2 can improve the hydrophilia of cathode thus increases the contact between UO 2 2+ and cathode. The density functional theory indicates that N-doping can enhance the electronegativity of cathode and increases UO 2 2+ adsorption. Meanwhile, the enhanced UO 2 2+ reduction facilitates the charge separation in BiVO 4 film, therefore enhancing the organic oxidation. Consequently, under AM 1.5 illumination, the designed DEPFC can remove almost 100% of UO 2 2+ and simultaneous degrade 99% organics within 40 min
