Abstract: | We constructed two types of copper-doped metal-organic framework (MOF), i.e., Cu@UiO-66-NH\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document} and Cu-UiO-66-NH\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document}. In the former, Cu\begin{document}$ ^{2+} $\end{document} ions are impregnated in the pore space of the amine-functionalized, Zr-based UiO-66-NH\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document}; while in the latter, Cu\begin{document}$ ^{2+} $\end{document} ions are incorporated to form a bimetal-center MOF, with Zr\begin{document}$ ^{4+} $\end{document} being partially replaced by Cu\begin{document}$ ^{2+} $\end{document} in the Zr\begin{document}$ - $\end{document}O oxo-clusters. Ultrafast spectroscopy revealed that the photoinduced relaxation kinetics associated with the ligand-to-cluster charge-transfer state is promoted for both Cu-doped MOFs relative to undoped one, but in a sequence of Cu-UiO-66-NH\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document}\begin{document}$ > $\end{document}Cu@UiO-66-NH\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document}\begin{document}$ > $\end{document}UiO-66-NH\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document}. Such a sequence turned to be in line with the trend observed in the visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity tests on the three MOFs. These findings highlighted the subtle effect of copper-doping location in this Zr-based MOF system, further suggesting that rational engineering of the specific metal-doping location in alike MOF systems to promote the photoinduced charge separation and hence suppress the detrimental charge recombination therein is beneficial for achieving improved performances in MOF-based photocatalysis. |
