UiO-66-NH2 and its functional nanohybrids: unlocking photocatalytic potential for clean energy and environmental remediation

This work looks at making and using amine‑modified zirconium metal‑organic frameworks, especially UiO‑66‑NH2, and their nanohybrids for sunlight‑driven photocatalysis. Adding amino groups to UiO‑66 improves visible‑light absorption and helps separate charge carriers, fixing some problems of plain MOFs. The review gives practical guidance on synthesis methods, structural tweaks, and heterojunction engineering used to create high‑performance UiO‑66‑NH2 nanohybrids. The main applications studied are photocatalytic hydrogen production, carbon‑dioxide reduction, and breaking down stubborn organic pollutants in water. By examining charge‑transfer mechanisms, band‑gap alignment, and reactive‑radical formation, the study provides a clear framework for boosting photocatalytic efficiency. The identified structure‑activity relationships offer useful tips for designing the next generation of hybrid photocatalysts. This

resource helps researchers systematically evaluate synthesis conditions, characterization techniques, and performance metrics needed to advance clean‑energy generation and environmental‑remediation technologies.
