Enhanced photocatalytic performance of Bi2O2CO3/Bi4O5Br2/reduced graphene oxide Z-schemehe terojunction via a one-pot room-temperature synthesis

Revealing the Impact of Alkaline Agents on the Photocatalytic Characteristics of Black Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)

“…In the past decade, rapid industrialization and the growth of the population have increased the rate of pollution, contaminating the atmosphere and water resources. , Our water resources are greatly affected by pesticides, insecticides, dyes, heavy metals, and organic waste, that are carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic. These pollutants do not degrade on their own and have a cumulative amplification effect .…”

Novel Approach to Photocatalytic Removal of Linezolid by Advanced Nano-Biochar/Bismuth Oxychloride Hybrid

“…Li et al synthesized a composite of AgI/BiOCl/biochar for the photodegradation of 17α-ethinyl estradiol, achieving a removal efficiency of 98.6% after 12 min compared to 2.5% in the case of BiOCl . The employment of biochar can suppress the fast reuniting between charge carriers in bare Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2, as it can act as an electron acceptor. , Additionally, it improves the adsorbability of the composite toward visible light due to the ability of the biochar to narrow the bandgap of the composite. , This approach not only mitigates the quick electron–hole recombination but also aligns with green chemistry principles by utilizing agricultural waste, thereby offering an economical solution for wastewater treatment. − …”

Elevating the Photocatalytic Performance of BiOCl by Promoting Light Utilization: From Co doping to the Microreactor

“…With the extraction of energy directly from the eternal burning sun, photocatalysis provides an efficient method for water purification, attracting extensive interests from researchers around the world. − Photocatalysts were found one after another during recent years, ranging from traditional TiO 2 , nanoparticles to g-C 3 N 4 , nanosheets. Among them, BiOCl, which exhibits a unique layered structure, stood out, owing to its excellent photocatalytic capability .…”
