Nano Ag@AgBr surface-sensitized Bi2WO6 photocatalyst: oil-in-water synthesis and enhanced photocatalytic degradation

Ionic‐Liquid‐Assisted Hydrothermal Synthesis of Ag/AgBr for Photodegradation of Imidacloprid under Visible Light

“…The adsorbed dissolved oxygen was reduced to superoxide radical ( • O 2 − ). The h + generated on AgBr could oxidize H 2 O and Br − to produce • OH and Br 0 , respectively . • OH, h + , • O 2 − , and Br 0 could degrade imidacloprid to small organic substances or directly to CO 2 and H 2 O .…”

Tungsten-based nanomaterials (WO 3 & Bi 2 WO 6 ): Modifications related to charge carrier transfer mechanisms and photocatalytic applications

“…There remains a dispute about the involvement of active radicals in the Bi 2 WO 6 suspension; the role of holes and superoxide radicals in the degradation pathways is extensively reported, while the participation of hydroxyl radicals is rarely discussed [250][251][252][253]. Ding et al…”

“…In addition, these carbon nanostructures for photocatalytic reactions [250][251][252]. The holes generated in AgX can oxidize halide ion to generate halogen that also behaves as strong oxidizing species.…”

Bi2WO6 Nanosheets Decorated with Au Nanorods for Enhanced Near‐Infrared Photocatalytic Properties Based on Surface Plasmon Resonance Effects and Wide‐Range Near‐Infrared Light Harvesting

“…Recently, plasmonic Au or Ag nanoparticles have offered a new chance to overcome the low efficiency of photocatalysis through surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effects . Combination of plasmonic nanoparticles with semiconductor photocatalysts can improve the photocatalytic activity for removal of organic compounds and water splitting.…”
