•Photocatalytic CO2 reduction by the cooperation of Co-ZIF-9 and CdS was studied under mild reaction conditions.•The Co-ZIF-9/CdS can efficiently photocatalyze CO2 conversion to CO with visible light, affording a high apparent quantum yield of 1.93%.•The Co-ZIF-9 acts as a co-catalyst to enhance CO2...
