Here we reported the synthesis of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) sensitized Zr-1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylic acid (ZrBTC) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hetero-structure. The photo-catalytic activity of CdSe QDs-ZrBTC MOFs is examined for Phloxine B dye degradation under visible light illumination. The CdSe semiconductor QDs presence on ZrBTC MOFs is confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transition electron microscopy (TEM) characterizations. The XRD spectrum of CdSe QDs demonstrates the cubic crystalline phase for CdSe QDs. The high crystallinity and bulk phase of ZrBTC MOFs is evinced by XRD pattern of ZrBTC. Surface morphological (FESEM and HRTEM) observations realise that ZrBTC MOFs formed into 2D sheets and sensitized with CdSe QDs. The UV-visible absorption spectrum reveals that the CdSe QDs-ZrBTC hetero-structure absorbs the light at 520 nm wavelength. The 2D ZrBTC MOFs provide platform for CdSe QDs to hinder the effective electron-hole pair recombination under photo-excitation. The photo-catalytic Phloxine B dye degradation experiments reveals that the CdSe QDs-ZrBTC hetero-structure demonstrated enhanced potential to make use of visible light absorption of CdSe semiconductor quantum dots in the solar spectrum.
