Abstract Novel composite photocatalysts MIL-100 (Fe) modified with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were prepared via a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic performances were indagated through the gas phase NO removal experiment under visible-light illumination. Compared with the pure MIL-100 (Fe), the CQDs@MIL-100 (Fe) material showed excellent photocatalytic performance, with a maximum of 70% NO removal efficiency. The composite photocatalysts were systematically characterized with SEM, XRD, BET, DRS, PL, and FTIR. The results showed that CQDs were successfully coupled with the MIL-100 (Fe) via the C-O bond. The introduction of CQDs enhanced the utilization of sunlight and photoexcited-charge utilization efficiency, which in turn promoted the conversion of NO to NO 3 − .
