Constructing a Z-scheme heterostructure on a metal-organic framework (MOF) composite with an explicit charge transfer mechanism at the interface is considered to be an effective strategy for improving the photocatalytic performance of MOFs. Herein, an internal electric field (IEF)-induced Z-scheme heterostructure on the ZnIn2S4@NH2-MIL-125 composite is designed and fabricated by a facile electrostatic self-assembly process. Systematic investigations reveal that close interfacial contact and difference in work function between NH2-MIL-125 and ZnIn2S4 enable the formation of the IEF, which drives the Z-scheme charge transfer as revealed by the in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ISI-XPS), photoirradiated Kelvin probe force microscope (KPFM) measurement, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) radical trapping experiment, as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculation; meanwhile, directions of the interfacial IEFs are determined. Benefiting from the unique merit of IEF-induced Z-scheme charge transfer, the optimized ZnIn2S4@NH2-MIL-125 composite exhibits significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for the photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) to p-phenylenediamine (PPD) under visible light irradiation. This work not only provides in-depth insights for charge transfer in the IEF-induced Z scheme heterostructure but also affords useful inspirations on designing the Z-scheme MOF composite to boost the photocatalytic performance.
