Pancake-like TiO₂ (M-TiO₂) derived from the metal-organic framework was inlaid into three-dimensional flower-like BiOI through a facile solvothermal method. M-TiO₂ supplies large surface area and mesoporous structure for attachment and transfer of the substrates and products, while BiOI acts as a photosensitizer to absorb visible light and generates electrons and holes. The distinct structure of M-TiO₂/BiOI gives a favorable contact between the two monomers, and promotes the transfer of charge carriers. In conjunction with the proper band positions of M-TiO₂ and BiOI, the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs is attained. Benefiting from the above cooperative effects of M-TiO₂ and BiOI, the performance for the vanillin generation from sodium lignosulfonate (SLS) over M-TiO₂/BiOI composites has a prominent improvement under visible light. Specifically, the yield over optimal M-TiO₂/BiOI sample is about 5.8 mg/gSLS, obviously superior to that over pristine M-TiO₂ (~1 mg/gSLS) and BiOI (~1.1 mg/gSLS). It is found that h⁺ and O₂– play the key role for vanillin generation from sodium lignosulfonate, and the low vanillin generation under UV–vis light sheds light on that OH is an adverse factor. We hoped that this work could inspire the studies on the photocatalytic valorization of biomass using noble metal-free catalysts.
