BiOBr/NH₂-MIL-101(Fe) composite photocatalysts were prepared by compositing BiOBr and NH₂-MIL-101(Fe) using a solvothermal method and used for the photocatalytic reduction of greenhouse gases CO₂. The structure and properties of the composite photocatalysts were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope spectroscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic CO₂ reduction performance study revealed that the activity of BiOBr/NH₂-MIL-101(Fe) was significantly superior to that of pure BiOBr. The composite catalyst prepared with the molar ratio of NH₂-MIL-101(Fe) to BiOBr of 0.09 showed the best catalytic activity, and the CH₃OH yield in the pure aqueous system reached 49.68 μmol·g^-1 after reacting under visible light irradiation for 6 h. The BiOBr/NH₂-MIL-101(Fe) heterojunction achieved rapid elimination of low-energy streams and effective separation and enrichment of high-energy carriers, which enabled the CH₃OH yield photocatalytic produced by BiOBr/NH₂-MIL-101(Fe)-0.09 to be 2.94 times that of pure BiOBr. This catalyst demonstrated good recycling performance, with a yield of 84.9% still achievable after the first five cycles.
