Plasmonic Ag/AgCl‐modified bismuth subcarbonate with enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity

Plasmonic Ag/AgCl‐modified bismuth subcarbonate (Bi₂O₂CO₃) composites were prepared by a multistep process with hydrothermal, deposition, and photoreduction in the absence of organic capping agents. The properties of the obtained Ag/AgCl/Bi₂O₂CO₃ samples were characterized using X‐ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray photoelectron, UV–visible diffuse reflectance, and photoluminescence spectroscopies. The results reveal that Ag/AgCl nanoparticles are dispersed on the Bi₂O₂CO₃ surface to achieve plasmonic Ag/AgCl/Bi₂O₂CO₃. The Ag/AgCl/Bi₂O₂CO₃ nanocomposites show improved rhodamine B (RhB) adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity compared with pure Bi₂O₂CO₃ and Ag/AgCl. In addition, the Ag/AgCl/Bi₂O₂CO₃ composite with 20 wt% Ag/AgCl exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity and remains stable for the photodegradation of RhB under visible light. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ag/AgCl/Bi₂O₂CO₃ may be attributed to the surface plasmon resonance effect of in situ generated Ag nanoparticles and synergistic effect of Ag/AgCl and Bi₂O₂CO₃, which increase the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron–hole pairs under visible light irradiation.     

Controlled synthesis of bismuth oxo nanoscale crystals (BiOCl, Bi12O17Cl2, α-Bi2O3, and (BiO)2CO3) by solution-phase methods

We present the controlled solution-phase synthesis of several sheet- or rod-like bismuth oxides, BiOCl, Bi₁₂O₁₇Cl₂, α-Bi₂O₃ and (BiO)₂CO₃, by adjusting growth parameters such as reaction temperature, mole ratios of reactants, and the base used. BiOCl, Bi₁₂O₁₇Cl₂, and α-Bi₂O₃ could be prepared from BiCl₃ and NaOH, whereas (BiO)₂CO₃ was prepared from BiCl₃ and urea. BiOCl and Bi₁₂O₁₇Cl₂ could also be prepared from BiCl₃ and ammonia. The α-Bi₂O₃ sample exhibited strong emission at room temperature.     

Synthesis of Bi2WO6/Bi2O3 Composite with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity by a Facile One‐step Hydrothermal Synthesis Route

In this study, the characterization and photocatalytic activity of Bi₂WO₆/Bi₂O₃ under visible‐light irradiation was investigated in detail. The results suggested that Bi₂WO₆/Bi₂O₃ can be synthesized by a facile one‐pot hydrothermal route using a super big 200 mL Teflon‐lined autoclave with optimal sodium oleate/Bi molar ratio of 1.25. Through the characterization of Bi₂WO₆/Bi₂O₃ by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, UV‐vis diffuse reflectance spectra and Photoluminescence spectra, it was found that the as‐prepared composite possessed smaller crystallite size and higher visible‐light responsive than the pure Bi₂WO₆. Moreover, it was expected that the as‐prepared composites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Rhodamine B under visible‐light irradiation, which could be ascribed to their improved light absorption property and the reduced recombination of the photogenerated electrons and holes during the photocatalytic reaction. In general, this study could provide a principle method to synthesize Bi₂WO₆/Bi₂O₃ with enhanced photocatalytic activity by one‐step hydrothermal synthesis route for environmental purification.     

Removal of multiple pollutants from water using noble Ag/Au/magnetite/graphene/H2O2 system under light and ultrasound irradiation

Ag/Au/Fe₃O₄/graphene composites prepared by a hydrothermal method demonstrated excellent activation of H₂O₂ and were used to degrade methylene blue (MB) in solution in the presence of organic acids and inorganic ions under light and ultrasound irradiation. The physicochemical properties of the obtained composites were characterized using various methods. The results showed that the composites exhibited excellent magnetic properties, crystallinity, and stability. The results of catalysis experiments revealed that the removal efficiency of MB increased when Ag and Au were both incorporated into the Fe₃O₄/graphene/H₂O₂ system compared with the removal efficiency achieved with separate Ag-Fe₃O₄/graphene/H₂O₂ and Au-Fe₃O₄/graphene/H₂O₂ systems, indicating a substantial synergistic interaction between the two metallic nanoparticles and the Fe₃O₄/graphene/H₂O₂ systems. The presence of an organic acid accelerated degradation of the MB/H₂O₂ system, whereas almost all of the investigated anions inhibited the degradation of MB; their inhibition effects followed the order CO₃^2? > NO₃^? > Cl^? > F^? > H₂PO₄^? > SO₄^2? > I^?. Cations of Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺ also suppressed MB degradation, likely because of the influence of Cl^? coexisting in the solutions.     

Microemulsion synthesis, characterization of highly visible light responsive rare Earth-doped bi(2) o(3)

In this paper, Bi₂O₃ and rare earth (La, Ce)‐doped Bi₂O₃ visible‐light‐driven photocatalysts were prepared in a Triton X‐100/n‐hexanol/cyclohexane/water reverse microemulsion. The resulting materials were characterized by X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, photoluminescence spectra (PLS) and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The XRD patterns of the as‐prepared catalysts calcined at 500°C exhibited only the characteristic peaks of monoclinic α‐Bi₂O₃. PLS analysis implied that the separation efficiency for electron‐hole has been enhanced when Bi₂O₃ was doped with rare earth. UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurements presented an extension of light absorption into the visible region. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by degradation of methyl orange (MO) and 2,4‐dichlorophenol (2,4‐DCP). The results displayed that the photocatalytic activity of rare earth‐doped Bi₂O₃ was higher than that of dopant‐free Bi₂O₃. The optimal dopant amount of La or Ce was 1.0 mol%. And the mechanisms of influence on the photocatalytic activity of the catalysts were discussed.

The rGO/BiOBr/Bi4O5Br2 Composites with Stacked Nanosheets for Ciprofloxacin Photodegradation under Visible Light Irradiation

The rGO/BiOBr/Bi₄O₅Br₂ nanocomposite powders with stacked nanosheets were fabricated by one‐step solvothermal method. The components, morphologies, optical properties and the separate of photo‐induced carriers were explored by XRD, FT‐IR, SEM, TEM, UV/Vis DRS and PL experiments. The results manifest that the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) plays a vital part in transmitting and evacuating electrons, which promotes the separate efficiency of photo‐induced carriers and enhances the photodegradation efficiency of ciprofloxacin. The influences of synthesis conditions were also explored, which cover rGO content, solvent thermal reaction pH, temperature and time. In addition, a feasible photocatalytic mechanism over ciprofloxacin photodegradation under visible light irradiation was proposed.     

Enhanced visible‐light‐driven photocatalytic activity of F doped reduced graphene oxide ‐ Bi2WO6 photocatalyst

The reduced graphene oxide‐Bi₂WO₆ (rGO‐BWO) photocatalysts with the different R_F/O values (molar ratio of the F molar mass and the O's molar mass of Bi₂WO₆) had been successfully synthesized via one‐step hydrothermal method. The F‐doped rGO‐BWO samples were characterized by X‐ray diffraction patterns (XRD), field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐ESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area (BET), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The results indicate that F^? ions had been successfully doped into rGO‐BWO samples. With the increasing of the R_F/O values from 0 to 2%, the evident change of the morphology and the absorption edges of F‐doped rGO‐BWO samples and the photocatalytic activities had been enhanced. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity of F‐doped rGO‐BWO with R_F/O = 0.05 were better than rGO‐BWO and the other F‐doped rGO‐BWO under 500 W Xe lamp light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the morphology of the intact microsphere that signify the bigger specific surface area for providing more possible reaction sites for the adsorption–desorption equilibrium of photocatalytic reaction, the introduction of F^? ions that may cause the enhancement of surface acidity and creation of oxygen vacancies under visible light irradiation, the narrower band gap which means needing less energy for the electron hole pair transition.     

Enhanced photocatalytic performance of N-doped RGO-FeWO4/Fe3O4 ternary nanocomposite in environmental applications

Nitrogen doped RGO- FeWO₄/Fe₃O₄ (NRGO-FeWO₄/Fe₃O₄) ternary nanocomposite was synthesized by rapid single step microwave irradiation approach using iron acetate, ammonium tungstate and graphene oxide as precursors. The synthesized materials were thoroughly characterized by diffraction, microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The materials were tested for their catalytic efficiency in photo degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye and in reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). MB was mineralized within 100 minutes of visible light irradiation time in the presence of the ternary composite, apart from excellent stability and efficiency even after 10 consecutive cycles. The composite also had the capacity to convert 4-NP into 4-AP within 45 seconds and showed very good catalytic activity even after 20 cycles. The results revealed that ternary composite has way more efficiency than the component materials and can act as a promising catalyst for various environmental and engineering applications.

Carbon dots/Bi_2WO_6 composite with compensatory photo-electronic effect for overall water photo-splitting at normal pressure

Overall water photo-splitting is a prospective ideal pathway to produce ultra-clean H_2 energy by semiconductors.However,the band structure of many semiconductors cannot satisfy the requirement of H_2 and O_2 production at the same time.Herein,we illustrate that carbon dots(CDs)/Bi_2 WO_6 photocatalyst with compensatory photo-electronic effect has enhanced activity for overall water photo-splitting without any sacrificial agent.In this complex photocatalytic system,the photo-potential provided by CDs makes the CDs/Bi_2 WO6(C-BWO) composite could satisfy the band structure conditions for overall water photo-splitting.The C-BWO composite(3 wt% CDs content) exhibits optimized hydrogen evolution(oxygen evolution) of 0.28 μmol/h(0.12 μmol/h) with an approximate 2:1(H_2:O_2) stoichiometry at normal pressure.We further employed the in-situ transient photovoltage(TPV) technique to study the photoelectron extraction and the interface charge transfer kinetics of this composite catalyst.

New hybrid polyoxometalate/polymer composites for photodegradation of eosin dye

New polyoxometalate (POM)/polymer hybrid composites were prepared by photopolymerization under mild conditions for suitable photocatalytic processes. Polyoxometalates were incorporated in special photosensitive resins, which were photopolymerized under visible light to obtain new materials with photocatalytic activity for dye removal. The synthesized composites were characterized by real‐time FT‐IR, and the photocatalytic ability was investigated on Eosin‐Y removal using photolysis under near UV irradiation. Interestingly, the polyoxometalates keep their photocatalytic properties, while incorporated into the polymeric matrix since very high conversion rates of Eosin‐Y were achieved. Indeed, degradation efficiencies of about 98% and 93% were registered when using H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀/polymer and 94% for SiMo₁₂O₄₀(IPh₂)₄/polymer composites, respectively. These first results reported in this article show that the new synthesized POM/polymer composites could be considered as promising materials for green and more suitable organic dye removal from aqueous solutions. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
