In situ growth of Bi₂MoO₆on reduced graphene oxide nanosheets for improved visible-light photocatalytic activity

Facile Preparation of AgI/Bi2MoO6 Heterostructured Photocatalysts with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity

“…based on KI) was dissolved in deionized water (15 mL) with stirring. The AgNO 3 solution was added dropwise into the above mixture under magnetic stirring, and the resultant suspension was stirred in the dark at room temperature for 2 h. The AgI/Bi 2 MoO 6 samples with different mass fractions of AgI (10,20, and 30 %) were named as 0.1AgI/BMO, 0.2AgI/BMO, and 0.3AgI/BMO, respectively. For comparison, pure Bi 2 MoO 6 (BMO), AgI, and mechanically mixed AgI/BMO with 20 wt.-% AgI were also prepared.…”

“…[18] Therefore, to overcome these drawbacks, Bi 2 MoO 6 is used frequently to build heterojunction systems, such as Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Bi 2 MoO 6 , [4] Ag/Bi 2 MoO 6 , [19] and Bi 2 MoO 6 /RGO (RGO = reduced graphene oxide). [20] Recently, silver halide (AgX; X = Cl, Br, and I) semiconductors have been reported to exhibit excellent photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of organic pollutants. [10][11][12] In addition to the components of composite catalysts, their morphology is also a significant factor that determines their photocatalytic performance.…”

Conjugated polyene-modified Bi2MO6 (MMo or W) for enhancing visible light photocatalytic activity

“…For example, Fu et al [49] prepared a series of hierarchical reduced graphene oxide/Bi 2 MoO 6 composites. The composites could degrade 99% of the RhB while the pure Bi 2 MoO 6 degraded ∼35% under visible light irradiation.…”

Heterojunction BiOI/Bi2MoO6 nanocomposite with much enhanced photocatalytic activity

“…As a typical Aurivillius oxide composed of Bi-O-Bi layers and MO 6 octahedron, Bi 2 MoO 6 has shown excellent photocatalytic activity, but its application is restricted due to its large band gap and high recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes . Many methods have been developed to enhance its photocatalytic performance, such as doping, photo-sensitization,heterojunction and metal deposition (Duan et al 2011;Guan et al 2012;Tian et al 2013a, b;Zuo et al 2015;Xu et al 2013b;Tian et al 2014). Among these strategies, the idea of constructing heterojunction between Bi 2 MoO 6 and other materials could effectively improve the photocatalytic activity of Bi 2 MoO 6 .…”
