“…11d both of the samples are n-type semiconductors. 49 The at band potential (E ) was determined by the extrapolation of the Mott-Schottky plot, and the E of BiOI and 4% P-BiOI are found to be À1.49 and À1.83 V vs. Ag/AgCl electrode (À1.27 and À1.61 eV vs. the normal hydrogen electrode, NHE), 50,51 respectively. The E is approximately equal to the E CB for n-type semiconductors, which means that the conduction band position of BiOI is 0.34 eV lower than that of 4% P-BiOI.…”
