Preparation and photocatalytic properties of Bi₂InNbO₇ nanorods obtained by the sol-gel method

Preparation of Bi3.64Mo0.36O6.55 by reflux method and its application in photodegradation of organic pollution

“…As a green and clean technology, photocatalysis over semiconductors using solar energy has attracted the attention of more and more scienti c researchers in the organic pollutants degradation, heavy metal reduction, hydrogen production, carbon dioxide reduction et al [5][6][7][8][9]. Consequently, many semiconductors such as TiO 2 [2,[10][11][12][13], ZnO [14][15][16] and Bi based compounds (Bi 2 O 3 [17][18][19], Bi 12 TiO 20 [20][21][22], Bi 2 InNbO 7 [23], Bi 2 WO 6 [2,[24][25][26][27]) have widely reported and exhibited a huge potential to solve above problems. However, the narrow light absorption of the catalyst, the effective separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and the active sites at the reaction interface have always limited the application of photocatalysts [28][29][30][31].…”
