Hierarchical Bi2MoO6 spheres in situ assembled by monolayer nanosheets toward photocatalytic selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol

Room‐Temperature Photocatalytic Decomposition of N2O over Nanobelt‐Like Bi2MoO6

“…The peaks below 400 cm −1 are ascribed to both lattice modes and Bi−O stretches. The peak centered at 803 cm −1 is associated with symmetric stretch of MoO 6 octahedron species, and the peaks at 715 and 849 cm −1 can be attributed to the characteristic orthorhombic distortions of MoO 6 octahedron in Bi 2 MoO 6 with Aurivillius structure of layered slabs (Bi 2 O 2 2+ ) connected by corner sharing of distorted MoO 6 octahedra …”

“…Tauc's plot is used to determine the E g value, and the results are depicted in Figure insert. BM‐140 illustrate an E g value of 2.50 eV, which is consistent with the value reported previously . With the increasing of hydrothermal temperature, the absorption edge energy of Bi 2 MoO 6 samples firstly red‐shifts to the visible light region, and then it blue‐shifts to the ultraviolet light region with the further increasing of hydrothermal temperature.…”

One‐Step Solvothermal Synthesis of BiPO4/Bi2MoO6 Heterostructure with Oxygen Vacancies and Z‐Scheme System for Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance

“…Bi 2 MoO 6 with a suitable band gap (∼2.7 eV) and consisted of [Bi 2 O 2 ] 2+ nanosheets with the MoO 4 2− slabs, has been found as a hopeful visible‐light‐driven catalyst and used to degrade organic pollutants . However, high recombination rate of photo‐generated (e − /h + ) charges of Bi 2 MoO 6 limits its photocatalytic efficiency.…”

Ru Nanoparticles Supported on Oxygen‐Deficient 3DOM BiVO4: High‐Performance Catalysts for the Visible‐Light‐Driven Selective Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol

“…TiO 2 and Bi-based semiconductors are the most commonly used photocatalysts for the oxidation of alcohols, and loading of a co-catalyst (e. g., Ag, Au, Pt or Pd) is an effective method to increase the photocatalytic activity. [11][12][13][14][15][16] For example, Chen et al adopted the microwave-assisted solvothermal and photodeposition methods to prepare the MÀ TiO 2 (M = Au, Ag, Pt, and Pd) samples, and observed that doping of the four noble metals could improve the photocatalytic efficiency for selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol, in which doping Pt remarkably enhanced the photocatalytic activity. [17] Li and coworkers synthesized the Au-and Pd-decorated BiOCl ultrathin nanosheets via a facile route, and found that the ultrathin nanosheets provided a more amount of reactive sites for coadsorption and activation of O 2 and alcohol molecules, and Pd nanoparticles (NPs) could effectively speed up the separation and transfer of the photogenerated charge carriers in the selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols.…”
