  • Description: UiO‐66, a zirconium based metal–organic framework, is incorporated with nanosized carbon nitride nanosheets via a facile electrostatic self‐assembly method. This hybrid structure exhibits a large surface area and strong CO2 capture ability due to the introduction of UiO‐66. We demonstrate that electrons from the photoexcited carbon nitride nanosheet can transfer to UiO‐66, which can substantially suppress electron–hole pair recombination in the carbon nitride nanosheet, as well as supply long‐lived electrons for the reduction of CO2 molecules that are adsorbed in UiO‐66. As a result, the UiO‐66/carbon nitride nanosheet heterogeneous photocatalyst exhibits a much higher photocatalytic activity for the CO2 conversion than that of bare carbon nitride nanosheets. We believe this self‐assembly method can be extended to other carbon nitride nanosheet loaded materials. A novel carbon nitride nanosheet heterogeneous photocatalyst is fabricated via a facile electrostatic self‐assembly method. Electrons from the photoexcited carbon nitride nanosheets can transfer to UiO‐66, which can substantially suppress electron–hole pair recombination in the carbon nitride nanosheet, as well as supply long‐lived electrons for the reduction of CO2 molecules adsorbed in UiO‐66.
