The construction of a Z-scheme heterojunction is an effective way to isolate photogenerated electron–holes and enhance the activity of the semiconductor photocatalysts. However, the Z-scheme heterojunctions based on metal–organic frameworks were rarely reported. Herein, a novel oxygen-defective ZnO...
