The invention provides an MOF-based derivative composite photocatalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of photocatalysts. The MOF is quenched in the soluble
metal salt solution after being calcined, the MOF derivative material formed through
calcination can be rapidly cooled through
quenching, a large number of defects are formed on the surface of the MOF derivative material, on one hand, the number of
oxygen vacancies can be increased through the defects, and the
oxygen vacancies are beneficial to
electron transmission and improvement of the
catalytic effect; on the other hand, the
metal loading capacity can be improved, the
binding force between the MOF derivative material and the
metal is high, the MOF derivative material is not prone to falling off, and the photocatalyst has good stability. According to the method, metal ions can be promoted to be reduced to form metal simple substances or
metal clusters through
reduction treatment, and the metals can generate heat when being used as the photocatalyst, so that
oxygen vacancies and the metals generate light-
heat effect for concerted
catalysis, and the degradation effect of the photocatalyst on
antibiotics is further improved.
