Photocatalytic reduction of nitrate has attracted much attention recently, however, low efficiency and difficult separation have limited its application in practice. In this study, the novel direct dual Z-scheme AgBr(Ag)/MIL-101(Cr)/CuFe2O4 (AB/M/CFO) was fabricated by the hydrothermal technology combined with the photodeposition method for the first time. The AB/M/CFO exhibited the highest nitrate conversion and nitrogen selectivity (79.9% and 94.5%, respectively) compared to AgBr(Ag)/MIL-101(Cr), MIL-101(Cr) and CuFe2O4 for 30 min UV-light irradiation. The dual Z-scheme of AB/M/CFO enhanced electron transfer and charge separation, which was proved by transient photocurrent responses, leading to a significant improvement in photocatalytic efficiency. Meanwhile, after four cycles, the AB/M/CFO photocatalyst also displayed a strong magnetic separation ability and excellent recycling stability. Furthermore, the excitation and electron transfer process over dual Z-scheme AB/M/CFO photocatalytic material were proposed, based on the radical trapping experiments. Our work provides a new strategy to construct dual Z-scheme MOFs-based materials that have promising applications in photocatalytic reduction of pollutants.
