分别以乙二醇/去离子水为溶剂,通过溶剂热/水热法分别制备了具有不同主导晶面的BiOIO₃/{110}BiOCl和BiOIO₃/{001}BiOCl异质结。采用X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜、能量色散谱和紫外可见漫反射光谱对制备的BiOIO₃/BiOCl光催化剂进行了表征。在可见光照射下,通过对罗丹明 B和苯酚水溶液的光催化降解,考察了 BiOIO₃/BiOCl异质结的光催化活性。结果显示25% BiOIO₃/{110}BiOCl异质结具有最高的光催化效率。BiOIO₃/{110}BiOCl较好的光催化性能是由于其在可见光区较强的光吸收,以及异质结结构和BiOCl所具有的(110)主导晶面有利于光生载流子的分离。超氧自由基(·O₂^-)和空穴(h⁺)是光催化过程中的主要活性物质。此外,根据实验结果探讨了光催化性能增强的机理。     

新型BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化剂的制备及其可见光催化活性增强

近年来, 石墨型氮化碳(g-C3N4)作为一种n型半导体光催化剂材料, 由于具有较好的热稳定性和化学稳定性, 同时具有可调的带隙结构和优异的表面性质而备受人们关注. 然而, 传统的g-C3N4块体材料存在比表面积小、光响应范围窄和光生载流子易复合等缺陷, 制约着其光催化活性的进一步提高. 因此, 人们开发了多种技术对块体状g-C3N4材料进行改性,其中构建基于g-C3N4纳米薄片的异质结复合光催化材料被认为是强化g-C3N4载流子分离效率, 进而提高其可见光催化活性的重要手段. BiOI作为一种窄带隙的p型半导体光催化剂, 具有强的可见光吸收能力和较高的光催化活性, 同时它与g-C3N4纳米薄片具有能级匹配的带隙结构. 因此, 基于以上两种半导体材料的特性, 构建新型的BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化剂材料不仅能够有效提高g-C3N4的可见光利用率, 而且还可以在n型g-C3N4和p型BiOI界面间形成内建电场, 极大促进光生电子-空穴对的分离与迁移效率.为此, 本文通过简单的一步溶剂热法在g-C3N4纳米薄片表面原位生长BiOI纳米片材料, 成功制备了新型的BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化剂. 利用X射线衍射仪(XRD), 场发射扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱和瞬态光电流响应谱对所合成复合光催化剂的晶体结构、微观形貌、光吸收性能和电荷分离性能进行了表征测试. XRD, SEM和TEM结果显示, 结晶完好的BiOI呈小片状均匀分散在g-C3N4纳米薄片表面; 紫外漫反射光谱表明, 纳米片复合材料的吸光性能较g-C3N4薄片有显著提升; 瞬态光电流测试证明, 复合材料较单一材料有更好的电荷分离与迁移性能.在可见光催化降解RhB的测试中, BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化剂显示出了优异的催化活性和稳定性, 其光降解活性分别为纯BiOI和g-C3N4的34.89和1.72倍; 自由基捕获实验发现, 反应过程中的主要活性物种为超氧自由基(·O2-), 即光生电子主导整个降解反应的发生. 由此可见, 强的可见光吸收能力和g-C3N4与BiOI界面处形成的内建电场协同促进了g-C3N4纳米薄片的电荷分离, 进而显著提高了该复合材料的可见光催化降解活性. 此外, 本文初步验证了在BiOI/g-C3N4纳米片复合光催化体系内光生电荷是依据"双向转移"机制进行分离和迁移的, 而非"Z型转移"机制.     

Photodegradation of Rhodamine B over unexcited semiconductor compounds of BiOCl and BiOBr

This study reported, for the first time systematically, photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) in aqueous solution over BiOCl and BiOBr semiconductors. Under visible light irradiation (λ>400 nm, λ>420 nm and λ=550±15 nm), RhB adsorbed on the surface of BiOCl and BiOBr was photosensitized and decomposed effectively over unexcited BiOCl and BiOBr. The degradation of Methyl Orange (MO) and Methylene Blue (MB) over BiOCl and BiOBr was investigated as well, and the results were compared with RhB photodegradation. It was found that MB molecules having the lowest LUMO could not be degraded by this process. Utilizing the quantum chemical calculation (Gaussian 03 program), the relationship between frontier orbital energy of selected dye molecules and photodegradation rate was established for the first time in this study.

BiOCl/UiO‐66 composite with enhanced performance for photo‐assisted degradation of dye from water

Semiconductor‐based photocatalysis is an environmental friendly and cost‐effective technique for water treatment. Due to their unique properties, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered as ideal platform to develop composite photocatalyst. In this study, Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) was first attempt to be incorporated with highly stable MOFs, UiO‐66(Zr) by hydrothermal reaction. Different characterization methods including X‐ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy had been used to prove the successful synthesis of composite photocatalyst. The resultant BiOCl/UiO‐66 composite showed higher photodegradation performance of Rhodamine B (RhB) under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation than that of pristine materials and their mechanically mixed sample. In addition, the composite exhibited good structural stability and reusability. The photocatalytic mechanism of RhB degradation over the composite under visible light proceeded via a photosensitization process. A better adsorptivity of RhB and effective electron transfer within the hybrid material might be responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic performance.     

Heterostructural BiOI/TiO2 composite with highly enhanced visible light photocatalytic performance

Binary BiOI/TiO₂ hybrid material was synthesized via a sol-gel method combined with chemical etching. The as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence spectra (PLS) and photocurrent response tests. Under visible light (λ > 420 nm), BiOI/TiO₂ degraded methyl orange (MO) efficiently and displayed much higher photocatalytic activity than that of pure BiOI. Moreover, BiOI/TiO₂ can effectively promote photooxidation of other organic dyes like rhodamine B (RhB), crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB). In addition, the quenching effects of different scavengers proved that reactive O ₂ ^? and h⁺ played the major role in the MO degradation. The photocatalytic activity enhancement of BiOI/TiO₂ is closely related to the strong absorption in the visible region, and the efficient charge separation derived from the matching band potentials between BiOI and TiO₂, as well as the low recombination rate of the electron-hole pairs due to the heterojunction formed between BiOI and TiO₂.     

Novel heterostructured Bi(2)S(3)/BiOI photocatalyst: facile preparation, characterization and visible light photocatalytic performance

Novel Bi(2)S(3)/BiOI heterostructures were successfully synthesized through a facile and economical ion exchange method between BiOI and thioacetamide (CH(3)CSNH(2)), and characterized by multiform techniques, such as XRD, Raman, FT-IR, XPS, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, SAED, BET and DRS. The obtained Bi(2)S(3)/BiOI photocatalysts showed excellent photocatalytic performance for decomposing organic dye methyl orange (MO) compared with pure BiOI under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). Among the Bi(2)S(3)/BiOI photocatalysts with different molar percentage of Bi(2)S(3) to initial BiOI (from 2 to 8%), 4% Bi(2)S(3)/BiOI exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity with apparent k(app) of 0.2968 h(-1). Differently, Bi(2)S(3)/BiOI displayed low photocatalytic activity for many colorless organic substrates, such as phenol, 2-chlorophenol, dimethyl phthalate and 5-sulfosalicylic acid. Moreover, the study on the mechanism suggested that the enhanced photocatalytic activity mainly resulted from the role of Bi(2)S(3)-BiOI heterojunctions formed in the Bi(2)S(3)/BiOI, which could lead to efficient separation of photoinduced carriers.     

Room Temperature Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of Magnetically Recoverable Fe3O4/BiOCl Nanocomposite Photocatalysts

Magnetically recoverable Fe₃O₄/BiOCl nanocomposite photocatalysts were fabricated by a simple chemical coprecipitation method at room temperature. The amount of Fe₃O₄ incorporated into BiOCl was varied from 0 to 20 wt%. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The obtained results show that the as-synthesized samples mainly contain both crystalline phases (Fe₃O₄ and BiOCl) and are composed of flower-like nanostructures. Compared to UV light-responsive BiOCl, all the nanocomposite photocatalysts show a strong light absorbance in the range of 250–800 nm, demonstrating that the Fe₃O₄/BiOCl nanocomposites can respond to visible as well as UV light. Moreover, visible light absorbance was increased with the increase in the Fe₃O₄ amount in the composite. The photocatalytic activity of nanocomposite photocatalysts was evaluated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) over the samples under visible light irradiation. The 10 wt% Fe₃O₄/BiOCl nanocomposite photocatalyst shows the highest photocatalytic efficiency among the samples. The Fe₃O₄/BiOCl nanocomposite photocatalyst was stable under visible light irradiation to efficiently degrade RhB molecules after five cycles and could be easily recovered with a magnet after each cycle.

Improved solar-driven photocatalytic performance of BiOI decorated TiO2 benefiting from the separation properties of photo-induced charge carriers

In this work, BiOI decorated TiO₂ photocatalysts were prepared in-situ by a facile hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy. The reactive radicals during the photocatalytic reaction were detected by scavenger experiments. BiOI/TiO₂ composites exhibit higher performance than the pure TiO₂ towards photocatalytic decolorization of methyl orange (MO) aqueous solution, when the molar ratio of Bi/Ti is 2%, the sample has the highest photocatalytic activity. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of BiOI/TiO₂ could be ascribed to the separation properties of photo-induced charge carriers and strong interaction between BiOI and TiO₂. Based on the observations, a Z-scheme charge separation mechanism was proposed.     

Graphene/BiOI composites synthesized via the oil bath method and their application for efficient photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange under visible light irradiation

An efficient and simple oil bath method for rapid synthesis of graphene/BiOI as visible light active photocatalyst was described. The resultant graphene/BiOI composites were characterized by different techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared graphene/BiOI composites for methyl orange degradation was also investigated under visible light irradiation. The results show that BiOI and graphene taken with a mass ratio of 100: 1 exhibited the highest photocatalytic efficiency, which is two times that of pure BiOI. Part of this effect results from higher specific surface area that provides an increased number of active sites. A relatively narrow band gap (2.08 eV) formed in the heterostructure can also contribute to this effect. A suggestion of the photocatalytic mechanism was also offered.     

WO3/BiOCl, a novel heterojunction as visible light photocatalyst

A bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) nanostructure is prepared by a new low temperature route using sodium dodecyl sulfate as template and urea as hydrolytic agent. A novel heterojunction is developed between BiOCl and tungsten oxide (WO(3)) to make it an efficient visible light photocatalyst. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and N(2) sorption isotherms. The WO(3)/BiOCl heterojunction system extends the absorption edge to the visible region efficiently. BiOCl works as a main photocatalyst while WO(3) acts as the photosensitizer absorbing visible light in the WO(3)/BiOCl composite. The individual BiOCl and WO(3) show very low photocatalytic efficiency under visible light irradiation but their heterojunction provides unexpectedly high efficiency in decomposing rhodamine B as compared to Degussa P25, pure BiOCl, and WO(3).

Ionic liquid-assisted synthesis of defect-rich BiOI with controllable structure and high surface area for excellent visible-light photocatalytic activity

In this study, BiOI materials with controllable structure are designed by using ionic liquid as I source and template to create the surface oxygen defects, thus promoting the photogenerated carrier migration and enhancing the photocatalytic activity. The texture of BiOI is controlled by adjusting the pH values of reaction mixture and the corresponding formation mechanism is also explored based on the self-assembly behavior of ionic liquid. It is found that the sample BiOI-7 possesses the ultrathin nanosheets (2 ~ 4 nm) and abundant surface oxygen defects which are beneficial for accelerating carrier transfer and facilitating photocatalytic degradation. The photocatalytic activity of as-prepared BiOI is studied by using Rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO) and Bisphenol A (BPA) as target pollutants, respectively. Besides, water splitting reactions were also used to further check the photocatalytic activity. BiOI samples exhibit the enhanced photocatalytic activity than bulk BiOI and g-C₃N₄ obtained by calcination of melamine. Especially, 92% of bisphenol A (BPA) can be degraded under light irradiation within 1 hr by using only 5 mg of BiOI-7 nanosheets, which is superior than most counterparts reported so far. This rapidly synthetic route can be applied in fabrication of other novel materials with diverse morphology and porous structure.
