Synthesis and characterization of α/β-Bi2O3 with enhanced photocatalytic activity for 17α-ethynylestradiol

Room Temperature Synthesis of BiOI/Bi5O7I p–n Heterojunction with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity for 17α‐Ethynylestradiol

“…When the pH value of EE2 solution increased from 5.8 to 10.0, the inhibitory effect seems to be more pronounced. This phenomenon can be explained by aim of this fact that EE2 anions (EE2 existed in the form of anions at alkaline condition) would repel superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ) which were dispersed on the photocatalyst surface . In addition, the recombination rate of electron‐hole pairs may grow with the increase of pH value and subsequently give rise to a reduction of photocatalytic activity .…”

Recent advances in photodegradation of antibiotic residues in water

“…Most crystals (e.g., TiO 2 [262] , [263] , [264] , [265] , [266] , [267] , [268] , [269] , [270] , CdS [271] , Bi 2 O 3 [272] , MoS 2 [273] and ZnIn 2 S 4 [274] ) have many different natural or artificial phases. The construction of the phase junction is a significant approach to improve the photocatalytic performance through accelerating the migration of electrons and holes.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Bi13B0.48V0.49-xPxO21.45 and Efficient Catalyst for the Synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones Derivatives Synthesis

“…It has been the subject of particular attention due to its unique electrical and optical properties, which has led to its widespread use in catalysis [2][3][4], optical coatings [5], microelectronics [6,7], solid fuel cells [8], gas sensors, and glass manufacturing. In addition, it is a promising photocatalyst in visible light with a narrow band gap 2.6-2.9 eV [9,10]. Moreover, catalysis by mixed oxides is an important area for the development of heterogeneous catalysts used in various applications.…”
