Synthesis,crystal structure and pseudocapacitor electrode properties of γ-Bi2MoO6 nanoplates

Nanoplate-like bismuth molybdates (γ-Bi₂MoO₆) is prepared for the first time by urea assisted solution combustion synthesis (SCS) and studied the structural and electrochemical properties to explore the possibility of using as negative electrodes in pseudocapacitors. The formation of single phase γ-Bi₂MoO₆ and plate-like morphology is revealed from XRD Rietveld refinement and FESEM, respectively. The pseudocapacitive behaviour of γ-Bi₂MoO₆ is analyzed by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge–discharge techniques. The effect of Na based aqueous electrolytes on capacitance of the Aurvillius type structured Bi₂MoO₆ is investigated. As prepared γ-Bi₂MoO₆ nanoplates provide the high specific capacitance (519 F g⁻¹) compared with the high-temperature monoclinic phase γ(H) Bi₂MoO₆ in 1 M NaOH electrolyte. The obtained high specific capacitance of as prepared Bi₂MoO₆ could be attributed to the decrease in particle size, increase in active sites, and nanoplate-like structure of as prepared γ-Bi₂MoO₆.     

Polymorphic transformations of Bi2MoO6

The polymorphism of Bi₂MoO₆ has been studied by differential thermal analysis, differential dilatometry, and differential scanning calorimetry with γ form specimens having the koechlinite structure prepared by sintering the oxides Bi₂O₃ and MoO₃. Two stable γ and γ′ forms and one metastable γ″ form were observed. The relative thermal stability of the γ form compared with the γ′ form has been examined by isothermal heating of a mixture of the two forms under hydrothermal conditions. Thus the low-temperature stable γ form transformed reversibly to the γ″ form at 604 ± 3°C, and on subsequent heating, the γ″ form transformed irreversibly to the high-temperature stable γ′ form in the range 640 to 670°C, depending on heating rates; however, an isothermal treatment at a temperature above 604 ± 3°C brought the gradual transition of the γ″ form into the γ′ form.     

The compounds and the phase diagram of MoO3-Rich Bi2O3MoO3 system

The equilibrium phase diagram between 0 and slightly above 50 mole% Bi₂O₃ in the Bi₂O₃MoO₃ system has been studied by differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction measurements on fused mixtures and single crystals. The results confirm the existence of the four compounds α (Bi₂O₃·3MoO₃), β (Bi₂O₃·2MoO₃), γ (Bi₂O₃·MoO)₃ and ? (～1.3Bi₂O₃·MoO₃) in the system. However, the phase diagram as well as the nature of melting of the α and γ were found disagreed with previous results. The γ compound melts incongruently at 947°C, whereas the α compound melts congruently at 662°C. The crystal class and lattice parameters of the compounds were determined based on the single crystal as well as powder pattern techniques. The results show that all four compounds have the monoclinic structure. The unit cell parameter of the β, γ, and ? compounds were found to be quite different from previously reported data. The lattice parameters obtained from X-ray analysis were also verified by density measurements of the single crystals. The polymorphism of the compounds was also investigated with single crystal samples. No polymorphic transformations for the α, β, and γ phases were detected in the work.

Phase relations and crystal structures in the systems (Bi,Ln)2WO6 and (Bi,Ln)2MoO6 (Ln=lanthanide)

Several outstanding aspects of phase behaviour in the systems (Bi,Ln)₂WO₆ and (Bi,Ln)₂MoO₆ (Ln=lanthanide) have been clarified. Detailed crystal structures, from Rietveld refinement of powder neutron diffraction data, are provided for Bi_1.8La_0.2WO₆ (L-Bi₂WO₆ type) and BiLaWO₆, BiNdWO₆, Bi_0.7Yb_1.3WO₆ and Bi_0.7Yb_1.3WO₆ (all H-Bi₂WO₆ type). Phase evolution within the solid solution Bi_2−xLa_xMoO₆ has been re-examined, and a crossover from γ(H)-Bi₂MoO₆ type to γ-R₂MoO₆ type is observed at x∼1.2. A preliminary X-ray Rietveld refinement of the line phase BiNdMoO₆ has confirmed the α-R₂MoO₆ type structure, with a possible partial ordering of Bi/Nd over the three crystallographically distinct R sites.     

Structural and thermal characterization of the γ″ polymorph of Bi2MoO6

Among the different polymorphic phases of the Bi₂MoO₆ system, the intermediate γ″ compound has been characterized within a metastable state by high temperature X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The transition γ ? γ″ is found to be partially displacive and partially reconstructive. In the context of the ferroelectricity of γ, the nature of the paraelectric phase is discussed with the help of space group considerations and Buerger's theory of phase transitions.

Microstructure and microanalysis of bismuth molybdates

The microstructures of commercially important bismuth molybdate catalysts in relation to olefin oxidation reactions are examined by electron microscopy (EM) techniques. The microstructural characterization has been carried out using dynamic (in situ) EM, high resolution EM, and microanalysis. The coprecipitated catalyst system Bi₂MoO₆ or γ, together with the γ phase, contains small amounts of tetragonal Bi₂MoO₆ phase, Bi₂Mo₃O₁₂ (α phase), Bi₂O₃, and MoO₃. In reduction with propylene, at catalyst operating temperatures of 400–500°C, in the dynamic experiments conducted on α- and γ-phase crystallites under reaction conditions no evidence for extended defects such as crystallographic shear planes has been obtained, instead an ordered intermediate phase similar to (101) Bi₂Mo₂O₉ (β phase) is observed which is found to be unstable. Observations by electron microscopy have been confirmed with parallel measurements made in a reactor connected to a gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer system. The possible influence of the microstructural changes on the catalytic behavior of the system is examined.

Defect structures in the brannerite-type vanadates: VI. Preparation and study of Co1−x∅xV2−2xMo2xO6 and phase diagram of the ternary CoO-V2O5-MoO3 system

The phase diagram of the ternary CoO-V₂O₅-MoO₃ system and in particular its T-CoV₂O₆-MoO₃ slice have been determined with DTA and X-ray phase analysis. CoV₂O₆ crystallizes in two modifications: a low-temperature γ-form of unknown structure and a high-temperature α-form of brannerite-type structure. The transition temperature is 660-665°C. The γ ? α transformations are very slow and the α-polymorph may be easily frozen. On doping with MoO₃, a solid solution is formed that is described by the formula Co_1?x?_xV_2?2xMo_2xO₆. Above x = 0.02 the α-type structure is stabilized. The x_max equals 0.22 at the eutectic temperature of 620°C and 0.20 at room temperature. Other features of the phase diagram, including its division into the natural subdiagrams and three ternary eutectics, are described in detail. X-Ray data are listed for α-CoV₂O₆ and for the solid solution having x = 0.20. On doping with MoO₃ the monoclinic lattice dilates primarily in the direction of the b-axis.

铁电极化对层状Bi2MoO6光催化性能的增强

通过对铁电光催化剂Bi_2MoO_6和聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)构建的有机-无机复合膜材料施加电场极化,来探究铁电极化对Bi_2MoO_6光催化剂活性提升的影响。未极化的Bi_2MoO_6在光照40 min时降解罗丹明B(RhB)的效率为57.6%,在光照150min时对双酚A(BPA)的降解效率为33.4%。在15 V电压下极化1.5 h的Bi_2MoO_6材料在相同条件下降解罗丹明B和双酚A的效率分别达到98.1%和79.2%,光催化活性得到了较大的提升。光催化活性提升的原因归因于内部电场的增强。未极化的Bi_2MoO_6的内电场的铁电畴是无序、分布不均匀的,光生载流子非常容易发生体内复合。当外加电场极化Bi_2MoO_6时,Bi_2MoO_6的铁电畴趋于有序,极化方向趋于同一方向,表面一侧(C+区)产生正电荷,在另一侧(C-区)产生负电荷,从C-区指向C+区的极化电场推动光生电子和空穴分别迁移到C+和C-区域。这一过程促使光生电荷载流子快速从体内迁移至表面,提高和延长了光生载流子的分离效率和寿命,导致光催化活性的提升。     

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.
