Abstract:In this study, two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet photocatalysts
of
Bi2MoO6 with varying thicknesses were synthesized
by adjusting the temperature during the hydrothermal reaction. The
thinnest Bi2MoO6 nanosheet reached an approximate
thickness of ∼4 nm, while the thickest nanosheet measured only
∼16 nm. The photocatalytic performance for Rhodamine B (RhB)
degradation was found to be the most effective for the thinnest Bi2MoO6 nanosheet, displaying a degradation rate constant
of 0.11 min–1. This rate was 2.5 times… Show more
