This work spotlights the facile method to deposit cobalt oxide (CoOx) nanoparticles as a cocatalyst on Fe-MOF-bpdc to enhance its photocatalytic activity for water oxidation reaction (WOR) under visible light irradiation to evolve gaseous O2. Due to the soft conditions needed for the process developed, the framework structure of Fe-MOF-bpdc was maintained even after the deposition of CoOx. The optimized CoOx@Fe-MOF-bpdc composite showed enhanced activity towards visible-light-driven WOR as compared to pristine Fe-MOF-bpdc, the amount of evolved O2being increased by about 2 times at the maximum with CoOxloading of 2 wt% as Co metal. Investigations on the wavelength dependence of visible-light-driven WOR on CoOx@Fe-MOF-bpdc revealed that the direct photo-excitation of Fe-oxo clusters within Fe-MOF-bpdc plays an important role to initiate the reaction. Furthermore, it was found that the rate of 2-propanol oxidation reaction, which is a typical two-electron oxidation reaction, was hardly affected by CoOxdeposition, suggesting that CoOxacts as a unique hole trapping site and more preferentially catalyse the four-electron oxidation reactions like WOR than the two-electron oxidation reaction.
