Abstract:Layered materials such as bismuth oxyhalides (especially BiOBr and BiOI) are the focus of research attention as photocatalysts due to their visible light activity, unique electronic structure, excellent chemical and physical stability, and internal electric field effect. We report the solvothermal synthesis of BiOX solid solutions with continuously tunable optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra. We employed solidstate nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) characterization to probe the local environment … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
