A review on hierarchical Bi₂MoO₆ nanostructures for photocatalysis applications

Abstract

In this critical review, hierarchical Bi2MoO6 nanostructures as photocatalysts for photocatalytic degrading organic materials are reviewed in detail. Hierarchical nanostructures have attracted numerous attentions due to their multiple advantages such...

Mannitol and acidity co-tuned synthesis of oxygen-vacancy-modified bismuth molybdate nanorods for efficient photocatalytic nitrogen reduction to ammonia

“…Hitherto, the reported morphologies of BMO include single-crystal nanosheets and nanoplates and hierarchical architectures (e.g., nanorods, nanofibers, nanotubes, hollow microspheres, and core-shell microspheres). Primary units of the hierarchical architectures are generally small singlecrystal nanosheets or nanoplates [21,22], which indicates that the common single-crystal structures of BMO are nanosheets and nanoplates. To date, one-dimensional (1D) single-crystal nanobelts [23] and nanorods [24] were rarely synthesized, although the 1D structure favors the charge transfer along the 1D direction and enhances the photoexcited charge separation.…”

Synergistic effects of rare earth doping and carbon quantum dots on BiOF/Bi2MoO6 heterojunctions for enhanced visible-near-infrared photocatalysis

“…[10][11][12][13] With the aim of improving the utilization of solar energy, much attention has been paid to visible-light-irradiated photocatalysts, among which Bi 2 MoO 6 is in the spotlight owing to its visible-light absorption, nontoxicity and high chemical durability. [14][15][16][17][18][19] g-Bi 2 MoO 6 exhibits a typical Aurivillius phase, composed of perovskite-like slabs of (MoO 4 ) 2À sandwiched between (Bi 2 O 2 ) 2+ layers. [20][21][22] Nevertheless, the photocatalytic performance of pure Bi 2 MoO 6 is seriously restricted by the high recombination rate of photoinduced electrons and holes.…”

Plasmonic Ag Nanoparticle-Loaded n-p Bi2O2CO3/α-Bi2O3 Heterojunction Microtubes with Enhanced Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Activity

“…Recent research activity in the field of heterogeneous photocatalysis is focused on exploiting novel and more efficient photocatalysts capable of using visible light for the degradation of organic contaminants. Many Bi-based semiconductors, such as BiVO 4 [1], Bi 2 O 3 [2], Bi 2 WO 6 [3], Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 [4], Bi 2 MoO 6 [5], and BiPO 4 [6] have been developed as visiblelight-driven photocatalysts. Among them, Bi 2 O 3 has received significant attention in recent years.…”
