Preparation and visible light photocatalytic activity of Bi2O3/Bi2WO6 heterojunction photocatalysts

The Bi₂O₃/Bi₂WO₆ heterojunction photocatalysts were prepared by a two-step solvothermal process using Bi(NO₃)₃-ethylene glycol solution as Bi source. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy. The heterostructure catalysts are composed of Bi₂O₃ nanoparticles as modifier and 3D Bi₂WO₆ microspheres as substrate. Bi₂O₃ nanoparticles with diameters of about 10-15 nm are tightly grown on the lateral surface of the Bi₂WO₆ microspheres. The hierarchical Bi₂O₃/Bi₂WO₆ microspheres exhibit higher photocatalytic activity than the single phase Bi₂WO₆ or Bi₂O₃ for the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light illumination (λ>420 nm). The enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of the Bi₂O₃/Bi₂WO₆ heterojunction catalysts can be ascribed to their improved light absorption property and the reduced recombination of the photoexcited electrons and holes during the photocatalytic reaction. The effect of loading amount of Bi₂O₃ on the catalytic performance of the heterojunction catalysts was also investigated and the optimal content of Bi₂O₃ is 3 wt%. The Bi₂O₃/Bi₂WO₆ heterojunction photocatalysts are essentially stable during the photocatalytic process.

Preparation and photocatalytic performance research of Bi2WO6/UiO-66-NH2 composite

Bi₂WO₆/UiO-66-NH₂ photocatalysts were fabricated through solvothermal method using acetic acid as template. The photocatalytic performance of as-fabricated composites was highly improved under simulated visible light due to the addition of UiO-66-NH₂. The structural and chemical properties of the composites were characterized through FTIR, XRD, XPS, SEM, BET, UV–vis DRS and PL. After 90 min of visible light irradiation, the RhB at an initial concentration of 10 mg·L^?1 in the solution was degraded by 99.4% due to the addition of 10 mg of the composite. There was no significant decrease in the photocatalytic activity even after four rounds of cycles. The free radical capture experiments indicate that the photogenerated holes (h⁺) were the main active sites. The possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism was proposed as the specific surface area of the composite was enlarged due to the uniform distribution of UiO-66-NH₂ on the surface of Bi₂WO₆. The electron–hole pairs recombination rate was decreased due to the photogenerated electrons (e^?) on the CB of Bi₂WO₆ which can be rapidly transferred to the CB of UiO-66-NH₂ and the photogenerated holes of UiO-66-NH₂ transferred to the VB of Bi₂WO₆. Meanwhile, the RhB was directly oxidized to H₂O and CO₂ by h⁺ to achieve the purification effect.

     

Construction of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) nanoplates modified Bi2WO6 microspheres with boosted visible-light photocatalytic activity

Photoactive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be a promising porous material in the field of catalysis. Controllable integration of these MOFs with inorganic semiconductor materials may endow new multifunctional hybrid materials with preferable photocatalytic properties. In this research, NH₂-MIL-125(Ti) nanoplates modified Bi₂WO₆ microspheres was prepared via a simple solvothermal method. The photocatalytic behaviors of the acquired catalysts was evaluated via the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) under visible light. The experimental results showed that NH₂-MIL-125(Ti)/Bi₂WO₆ composites display higher photocatalytic activity than that of single Bi₂WO₆, and the ideal incorporation amount of NH₂-MIL-125(Ti) was around 5 wt%. The steady state fluorescence spectrum, transient photocurrents and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy verified that the introduction of NH₂-MIL-125(Ti) could accelerate the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers and thus improve the photocatalytic activity of Bi₂WO₆. The photocatalytic mechanism was explored in detail. This work extends the knowledge of integrating MOFs with traditional photocatalysts to form new composite materials in the area of environmental purification.

     

Bi2WO6/TiO2纳米管异质结构复合材料的多模式下的光催化活性比较

以TiO₂纳米管为模板,采用多组分自组装结合水热法制备Bi₂WO₆/TiO₂纳米管异质结构复合材料。通过多种技术如X射线衍射（XRD）,X射线光电子能谱（XPS）,N₂吸附-脱附,扫描电镜（SEM）,高分辨透射电镜（HRTEM）和紫外可见漫反射吸收光谱（UV-Vis DRS）考察所制备样品的组成、结构、形貌、光吸收和电子性质。Bi₂WO₆纳米片或纳米粒子分布在TiO₂纳米管上,形成异质结构。随后,通过在紫外、可见和微波辅助光催化模式下降解染料罗丹明B（RhB）来评价复合催化剂的光催化活性。与TiO₂纳米管和Bi₂WO₆相比,Bi₂WO₆/TiO₂-35纳米管在多模式下表现出更优异的光催化活性。与紫外和可见降解模式相比,Bi₂WO₆/TiO₂-35纳米管在微波辅助光催化模式下对RhB的降解效率最高。这种增强的光催化活性源于适量Bi₂WO₆的引入、纳米管独特的形貌特征和降解模式所引起的增强的量子效率。降解过程中的活性物种被证明是h⁺,·OH和·O₂^-自由基。而且,在微波辅助光催化模式下,可产生更多的·OH和·O₂^-自由基。     

Fabrication of an efficient ternary TiO2/Bi2WO6 nanocomposite supported on g-C3N4 with enhanced visible-light- photocatalytic activity: Modeling and systematic optimization procedure

In this study, a ternary TiO₂/g-C₃N₄/Bi₂WO₆ nanocomposite was prepared via a facial approach. The final structure was applied as a new photocatalyst for the removal of brilliant green (BG) dye, as a model of organic pollutants, from the aqueous solution. The results of FESEM, EDS with mapping, XRD, FTIR, UV–vis DRS, PL, and EIS analyses further demonstrate the successful establishment of heterojunction between TiO_2, g-C₃N₄, and Bi₂WO₆. Integration of g-C₃N₄ and Bi₂WO₆ with TiO2 was remarkably decreased the band gap energy of TiO₂ to 2.68 eV (from 3.15 eV). The effects of various experimental factors such as TiO₂/g-C₃N₄/Bi₂WO₆ dosage, initial BG concentration, visible irradiation time, and pH on the photocatalyst behavior of TiO₂/g-C₃N₄/Bi₂WO₆ were investigated by 2 ^k-1 factorial design. The results of the analysis of variance demonstrate these experimental factors are effective on the BG degradation efficiency. The response surface methodology was applied to achieve the optimization procedure of BG degradation. According to these results, the complete BG removal efficiency was obtained for the optimal conditions of 15.76 mg of TiO₂/g-C₃N₄/Bi₂WO₆ nanocomposite, an initial BG concentration of 10 ppm, pH of 9, and time duration of 70 min. The improved photocatalytic performance of ternary TiO₂/g-C₃N₄/Bi₂WO₆ nanocomposite was related to the formation of heterojunction between TiO_2, g-C₃N₄, and Bi₂WO₆, significant light adsorption ability, and low recombination of photogenerated carriers.

Novel Bi2MoO6 Nanosheets/Vertical TiO2 Nanorods Arrays Heterojunction with Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Performance under Visible Light Irradiation

Novel Bi₂MoO₆/TiO₂ heterojunction was fabricated by growing Bi₂MoO₆ nanosheets arrays on the vertically aligned TiO₂ nanorods arrays via a two-step solvothermal method. The obtained Bi₂MoO₆/TiO₂ hierarchical heterojunction showed excellent visible light photoelectrochemical performance. Compared with the pure TiO₂ and Bi₂MoO₆, the photocurrent density of the heterojunction was increased 57 and 29 times, respectively. Furthermore, the hydrogen generation rate of the Bi₂MoO₆/TiO₂ for photoelectrocatalytic water-splitting was about 6 times higher than that of the pure Bi₂MoO₆. The improved performance can be attributed to the synergistic effects of enhanced absorption of visible light, increase of migration rate and separation efficiency of photo-induced carriers.

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.

CeO2/Bi2WO6 Heterostructured Microsphere with Excellent Visible‐light‐driven Photocatalytic Performance for Degradation of Tetracycline Hydrochloride

CeO₂/Bi₂WO₆ heterostructured microsphere with excellent and stable photocatalytic activity for degradation tetracyclines was successfully synthesized via a facile solvothermal route. The photocatalytic experiments indicated that CeO₂/Bi₂WO₆ heterostructured microspheres exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to pure Bi₂WO₆ in both the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and rhodamine B (RhB) under visible‐light irradiation. The 1CeO₂/2Bi₂WO₆ exhibited the best photocatalytic activity for degradation of TCH, reaching 91% after 60 min reaction. The results suggested that the particular morphological conformation of the microspheres resulted in smaller size and more uniform morphology so as to increase the specific surface area. Meanwhile, the heterojunction was formed by coupling CeO₂ and Bi₂WO₆ in the as‐prepared microspheres, so that the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes was dramatically improved and the lifetimes of charge carriers were prolonged. Hence, introduction of CeO₂ could significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of CeO₂/Bi₂WO₆ heterostructured microspheres and facilitate the degradation of TCH. This work provided not only a principle method to synthesize CeO₂/Bi₂WO₆ with the excellent photocatalytic performance for actual produce, but also a excellent property of the photocatalyst for potential application in photocatalytic treatment of tetracyclines wastewater from pharmaceutical factory.
